THANK YOU, BOB,
FOR FOUR DECADES

OF SERVICE

Bob Merrill takes bids on the Walton 1913 Liberty Head nickel.

fter more than 40 years as Auction Director, and later Chief
Auctioneer of the World’s Largest Numismatic Auctioneer,
the masterful Bob Merrill is retiring.

Merrill has been there since the beginning. He joined Steve Ivy
Numismatic Auctions shortly after the company was established
in 1976; the company became Heritage Numismatic Auctions

in 1982. “His experience as a history teacher and part-time coin
dealer, not to mention his work ethic and exuberance, made Bob
the perfect candidate for the position of Heritage’s first Director ...
and first auction employee!” says Steve Ivy, Co-Founder and CEO
of Heritage Auctions.

Since those early years, Heritage has grown
to become the world’s largest collectibles
auctioneer, as well as the largest auction
house founded in the United States. As lead
auctioneer, Merrill has wielded the hammer
for some of Heritage’s most important sales,
including the finest-certified 1787 Brasher,
Punch on Wing doubloon ($4.58 million), the
Walton Specimen of the 1913 Liberty Nickel
($3.17 million), coins from the legendary Eric
P. Newman collection, plus literally billions of

Bob and wife Karen. dollars in rare coins and currency.

“Without Bob Merrill,” says Heritage Auctions Co-Founder Jim
Halperin, “Heritage Auctions would never have existed.”

Chief Numismatics Cataloger Mark Van
Winkle recalls how Merrill stood out from
other auctioneers. “He called auctions
with depth and knowledge of history and
coins. He could add color commentary to
any auction. He really did his homework.
And he has a great sense of humor. He’s
a fun person to be around. Everyone who
remembers those late-into-the-evening
auctions when Bob started handing out
candy to keep things lively will miss him.”

——
Before joining Heritage,
Bob Merrill was a high school
The accolades Bob received from the eal
collecting community and those that worked with, and for him, are
far too numerous to list here. Suffice it to say he will go down as
one the most important numismatic luminaries of the last 45 years,

Ivy says.

In 1997, Merrill reduced his
workload and relocated to
Oregon. Now, he Is officially
retiring. For being a key player
in the growth of Heritage
Auctions over the past four
decades, the HA team sends
Bob its sincerest love, thanks
and appreciation.

A, :
Heritage President Greg Rohan, Bob Merrill,
Heritage CEO Steve Ivy.

20001 Continental Currency May 10, 1775 $20 PCGS Extremely Fine 40.

This marbled-edge Continental note is unlike any other from the entire series of 102 different pieces. On page 203 of Historical Sketches of American
Paper Currency, published in 1866, Henry Phillips, Jr. had this to say, “The note is a very peculiar one, being entirely different from all the rest of the
issues of the Continental Congress. How this happened or the reason for so strange a deviation, is not and perhaps can never be known.” These $20 bills
were printed on weak, thin white paper that was furnished by Benjamin Franklin. The left end of the bills had a polychrome multicolor anticounterfeit-
ing device that gave the notes a distinctly different appearance. They were also considerably wider and shorter than any other Continentals were. The
back of this example, as on all known pieces, is inverted. The Apparent has been assigned for “Minor Restorations” which seem to be repairs of a few
minor edge splits. The marbling is medium wide with excellent color and both the red and brown signatures are strong. At our 2015 FUN auction we
sold a visually identical note, at the same grade level and with the same minor restorations comment, for $14,100. We see no reason why this evening’s
offering will not produce a similar or identical result.

This is a very collectible example of one of America’s most historic paper
currency notes. Uniquely printed from the May 10, 1775 Session, the
$20 uses marbled polychromatic paper, which is visible at the left end.
The marbled paper obtained by Benjamin Franklin for this purpose was
later used on the first United States Federal Loan Certificate (Anderson-
Smythe US-1). The face and back emblems and mottos were sketched by
Franklin. These emblems also appeared on the backs of $30 Continental
notes. Despite some repairs and pieces added, this example has a very
appealing overall appearance.

Very Choice New 64PPQ.

Fugio notes are available in lesser grades, but this exemplary piece is one
of the finest and boasts an Eric Newman Collection pedigree. It was cut
from a glorious, fresh and original 24-subject sheet which was dispersed
as single notes in the Newman Part VIII sale in 2017; this particular $1/2
realizing $2,880. All 24 individual notes, auctioned for the first time,
were avidly pursued as type notes and for sets. This gorgeous “PPQ” $1/2
Fugio note was one of only eight Uncirculated $1/2 notes graded at PCGS
at the time of the Newman Part VIII sale. The paper quality is extraor-
dinary and the note has a Gem appearance from the face. This is from
the left side of the lower serial number pane of the original double-sheet
array. Margins are ample all around and wide at the left, and the printing
is even and deep on both sides. The back is slightly off-center to the top
and right. Plate A. No. 386966. Signed by B. Brannan in red. There were
no Gem New 65PPQ notes in the PCGS population report when these
were certified for the Newman sale, and this was one of two Very Choice
New 64PPQ graded examples. High grade-notes from this denomina-
tion are difficult to obtain. This selection will fit into any top notch set of
Continental Currency and is splendid for type.

20006 Continental Currency November 2, 1776 $30 PMG Choice
Uncirculated 64 EPQ.

Neither grading service has seen a gem example of this $30 November
2nd, 1776 note. One of only three notes to achieve the 64 grade at both
services combined. This one has earned every point of its 64 grade with
its good signatures, decent margins, and sharp print quality of the note
itself and all three vignettes. These notes are quite popular due to the
back which has the same sun with pointed rays design that can be found
on the contemporary Fugio cents. The mottos with the emblems on the
back are VI CONCITATE (Driven by force) and CESSANTE VENTO
CONQUIESCEMUS (When the storm dies down we will rest). The
emblem on the face is a tomb with a wreath on it. The motto is SI RECTE
FACIES (If you act righteously you will be honored after death). In our
2015 Central States auction, we sold a PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ

20007 Continental Currency April 11, 1778 $5 PCGS About New 50.
The vast majority of Yorktown notes that are seen are British counterfeits.
Six of the eight denominations of Yorktowns were heavily counterfeited
by the British in an effort to undermine the value of the currency of the
nascent United States. The existence of the deceptive counterfeits is the
reason that this April 11, 1778 issue is the rarest of all the Continentals.
When the counterfeits appeared shortly after the genuine notes were
issued, the Continental Congress voted to recall all April 11, 1778 notes.
This piece luckily escaped that recall. This genuine example is in a com-
ment-free PCGS 50 holder.

20008 Hand-Drawn Continental Currency Counterfeit September 26, 1778 $40 Extremely Fine-About New.

Entirely hand drawn on a blank piece of paper. The paper appears authentic, with the proper lay lines, and is certainly period. Whether or not the artist
who created this $40 note cleaned a lower denomination off to obtain the paper is unknown, the paper looks and feels as it should for a Continental note.
We have as yet found no reference to any other hand-drawn Colonial counterfeits of any issue, although there is some reference to very early Southern
notes that were produced by this method. Whoever created this note was the 18th century version of the 19th Century “Jim the Penman,” who hand-
created $20-$100 Legal Tender notes in the late 19th century. He was active from the early 1880s until his capture and subsequent six year jail term. He
was tried in 1896. Jim the Penman’s actual name was Emanuel Ninger, although he was known to use aliases at various times. He and his wife lived on a
farm in New Jersey and he told his friends and neighbors that he made his living from a Prussian Army pension. He was actually in his barn straining his
eyes to get Ben Franklin’s eyes just right. He supposedly produced about 700 notes over the twenty year period, although he admitted at his trial to only
have produced 380. This cataloger has seen three in person and a number of museums and government agencies also hold examples. In spite of the fact
that his notes are counterfeit and illegal to own, the market for any “Jim the Penman” note approaches five figures in the clandestine counterfeit collec-
tors marketplace. This note, having no face value, is entirely legal to own, exhibit, and display.

We simply have no basis to form an accurate estimate for this note. If the one or two people who have Ninger notes decide they need this, you will not be
able to buy it. However, if it sells on a slow day for hand-drawn Continental counterfeits, it could prove to be a bargain. Completely unsure about its true
worth, we will open this at $1, with no further estimate. The buyers, and we presume there will be a number of people competing, will set the market
themselves. The note is extremely well done, certainly at the level where it would fool the average collector, but it is an obvious counterfeit to those with
considerable experience in the Colonial and Continental field. While it would be recognized as a counterfeit, unless placed under close scrutiny under
a glass, one would be unaware that it was entirely hand drawn. While not specifically confessing to a Federal crime, this cataloger will admit to having
briefly held a “Jim the Penman” note. Given a choice between that note and this, the Continental is the favored piece. A truly magnificent Colonial-era
memento. We can only hazard a guess concerning the length of time and skill level it took to create this note centuries ago. An outstanding piece.

A most attractive example of this $80 note that comes with sharp print Thomas Meyer was the recipient of this attractive bill signed by
quality and bold signatures. A few as-made ink spots on the back have — Hopkinson and Smith. Two endorsements are viewed on the back, includ-
been noted by PMG. ing that of William Bingham. Bingham was a Philadelphia resident and
Starting Bid: $500 statesman, well known as one of our fledgling nation’s wealthiest indi-

viduals following the Revolution. This note is housed in a comment-free
holder, which is rare for this type due to the nature of the thin paper and
the often encountered ink burn. The bill is particularly desirable for its
red inking and the fact that is was paid in Paris. Anderson estimated
501 to 1,250 existing examples with his rating of R2. Our Newman sales
offered a multitude of lower grade, problemed pieces, yet they still man-
aged to scale the four-figure plateau. Any problem-free Extremely Fine
Bill of Exchange is extremely desirable.

Exceedingly Rare “at the Court of Versailles” Hopkinson-Signed Continental Loan Office
Bill of Exchange Not in Newman or Ford - First Seen by Us

20011 United States of America - Continental Loan Office in the State of “Pennsylvania” Exchange for $800 at five Livres Tournois per Dollar
Fourth Bill, Payable “at the Court of Versailles” October 6, 1780 Anderson-Smythe-as US-104 PMG Very Fine 25.

At first glance, the unaware would miss the true significance of this exceedingly rare and historic Continental Loan Office “livre tournois” certificate.
The note is signed by Francis Hopkinson, Pennsylvania's commissioner of loans, and the printed style is the same as the usual printed forms. The lower
left printed portion of the certificate indicates it was payable to the Hon. Dr. Benjamin Franklin as Minister Plenipotentiary and payable “at the Court
of Versailles.” With the exception of the plated piece in Anderson (from Lenny Finn’s collection), we have never seen this type or cataloged one. The
Newman, Ford, and several other major Colonial holdings we surveyed did not have this type. It is also a high $800 written denomination, express-
ing the equivalency at 5 Livres Tournois per Dollar. As Anderson-Smythe 104, this is rated Rarity-8 (1 to 3 known). This form was printed on fine laid
paper and specially watermarked “UNITED STATES.” Because of Franklin’s prestige as a scientist and a writer, Franklin had been appointed minister
to France. He called the shots from America for financing. Through his efforts Franklin succeeded in securing the military backing of the French
ground forces, fleet and treasury in the Revolutionary War. This particular certificate was issued for Pennsylvania and bears the low serial number “10”
and was payable to Joseph Carlton, Pay Master to the Board of War. Carlton countersigns the document on the blank back. Signer of the Declaration of
Independence, Hopkinson’s penned signature is bold. There are minor repairs and a piece added as noted by PMG. This certificate facesup beautifully
with broad margins and a wavy indent. The rarity should be comparable to the John Adams Amsterdam form we sold as part of the Newman Collection
for $6,462.50 in May 2017. Worthy of a runaway price from our conservative starting bid.

20013 United States Continental Congress Letter of Marque Signed by John Jay May 21, 1779 Very Fine-Extremely Fine.

A letter of marque and a fantastic piece of American history, signed by John Jay. “During the American War of Independence, first the state legislatures,
then both the states and the Continental Congress, then, after ratification of the Constitution, Congress authorized and the President signed letters of
marque. A shipowner would send in an application stating the name, description, tonnage, and force (armaments) of the vessel, the name and residence
of the owner, and the intended number of crew, and tendered a bond promising strict observance of the country’s laws and treaties and of international
laws and customs. The commission was granted to the vessel, not to its captain, often for a limited time or specified area, and stated the enemy upon
whom attacks were permitted.” The preceeding description of marque comes from Wikipedia. In this case, the brigantine was the Sally commanded by
James Armitage and containing fourteen carriage guns with a crew of thirty. A great historic document in its own right, but the signature of John Jay, as
president of the Continental Congress, catapults it into another collecting realm.

One of the Founding Fathers. He is also referred to as the forgotten Founding Father. His role in the formitive years of our country was certainly equal
to and possibly surpassed several of the five or six names that are always mentioned as Founding Fathers. Among other roles, Jay was a negotiator and
signatory of the Treaty of Paris of 1783. He also served as the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay
wrote The Federalist Papers, with Jay writing only five of the eighty five. Jay’s signature is not terribly rare, but we have never before seen it on a letter of
marque. Also, for some unknown reason, documents signed by Jay tend to be uniformly worn and/or damaged. This document has been folded, but the
folds are not split. Its wonderful framing quality extends all of the way out to the edges. The only defect we can spot is a small piece of replacement paper
wholly within the blank area below the signature of Charles Thomson, secretary. Thomson was one of the designers of The Great Seal.

20015 Delaware February 28, 1746 18d Fr. DE-24 PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45.

This is an exceptional Delaware Colonial note that some might overlook at first glance, but proper scrutiny uncovers its immense significance and great
rarity. Not only very rare as a type, but conditionally rare and in an unheard of state of preservation. This series was printed by Benjamin Franklin prior
to his partnership with David Hall when he went from immensely busy to more immensely busy; eventually becoming one the greatest American Nation
founders whose ties to numismatics are legendary. Two plates were created at the Franklin workshop for the issue. One for lesser change notes which
were uniface like this (without a back imprint) and the second a pair of plates for the larger denomination, two-sided notes. This 18d note has light cir-
culation and is in a comment free holder. It looks New at first glance and it is hard to imagine a finer example on the planet. Eric Newman’s collection
had six notes from this 1746 issue, but they were all very low grade/damaged/pinned examples. Boyd had several denominations spread throughout those
sales and all were low grade, backed, or the other assorted maladies that plague Colonials from that period. These magnificent holdings had nothing to
compare to this on the issue. For the Delaware Colonial specialist this is a priceless example and a realization in multiples of its starting bid is recom-
mended. You will likely never upgrade or replace this jewel.

An exceptionally nice example of an Orange Seal Georgia, with bold

The paper color and signatures are amazing on this Green seal 1776 $1.
The Justice vignette has more detail than we are accustomed to seeing
and at a glance it appears to be a flawless mid-grade piece. PMG has com-
mented, “Repaired,” and they are indeed correct. The upper right corner
has been expertly rebuilt. As an entrant in the too much information cat-
egory (aka Kathy’s favorite), we have just noticed that the layout indicates
the word DOLLAR was originally the plural DOLLARS. The “S” has been
about 90% removed, which leaves a red comma hanging off in no man’s
land. We looked through our archive and have sold any number of these
in the past, only one of which displays this same anomaly. We have not
seen another reference to this variety, possibly because previous catalog-
ers have been afraid that mentioning it would push the dial off the end of
their nerd detector.

Undated $5 Note

CANIN ied

Fine 35.
The types from this (1776) Undated series are scarce and use interesting
vignettes instead of color seals used on other issues from the period. A
very charming type with a Barrel Beehive vignette at the lower right.
This example has considerable eye appeal well in excess of its technically
assigned grade. Paper originality and embossing are clearly evident from
both sides, but especially when viewed from the blank back. The note is
fully margined and broadly so on three sides. The vivid red text provides
lovely contrast to the black. Everything is sharply defined including the
five flowing signatures. Noted with “Small Edge Splits; Minor Mounting
Remnants on Back.” Like several of the Newman Collection Georgia bills,
superior to the equivalent Boyd collection example. In this case, Ford
Part X: Lot 4539, which was not as sharp, realized $5,175 in May 2005.
Formerly from the Newman Collection and sold in our Part VIII sale in
2017 for a conservative $1,800. Most notes known from the series and
type are impaired or repaired in some manner. This is a top-grade rep-

Rare Rotated Colored Seal

20022 Georgia 1777 $7 PMG Choice Very Fine 35.

This is the second-nicest, problem-free example we have sold of this Blue
Seal hand variety. Our Newman sale had a couple of PCGS 25 Apparents,
which both sold for around $1,500. The consignor has sent us a note
pointing out the hand seal is supposed to point straight to the top of the
note. It is out of position 90 degrees to the left (or 270 degrees to the right,
dependent upon your state of optimism), with fingers pointing directly
at the five bold, clear signatures. He mentions that in many decades
of dealing, he has never seen another Georgia note with a rotated seal.
Interestingly, this cataloging team has seen one other, which by the for-
tunate or unfortunate happenstance, also appears in this sale. It is a $30
May 4, 1778 Georgia note with the boar vignette rotated very nearly 180
degrees. This weird alignment of the stars will afford some collector the
opportunity to begin a rotated seal Georgia collection with two pieces.
We suspect decades from now, that collector would still be seeking a third
example.

This lowest denomination note from an issue than had only three denom-
inations is a true beauty. It has wonderful margins, pristine surfaces, and
deep original embossing. The difference between PMG’s 58 EPQ grade
and a 66 or 67 note is a light pinch fold in the lower right corner area,
most visible at the lower left of the back. It’s there, but it somehow seems
cruel to assign a grade below uncirculated for a defect that could well
have been in the paper prior to the note being printed or for that matter
a defect that was caused by the printing process which in this instance is
our best guess. The rattlesnake vignette and its surround Latin motto are
lightly inked, but heavily embossed. All five signatures are dark and bold,
including that of William Few who went on to sign the US Constitution
eleven years after he affixed his signature to this Georgia note. A prize
Colonial example of history in your hands.

20024 Georgia May 4, 1778 $30 Inverted Seal PCGS Very Choice New 64.

Ignoring the important Inverted Seal, this note’s significance begins with the fact that is the only Uncirculated example graded to date by both PCGS
and PMG. It displays wonderful margins, deep original embossing, perfect paper surfaces, and spectacular eye appeal. The seal, which shows a wild boar
running at a spear, is boldly printed and incredibly sharp even under magnification. Every line, hair, and eye lash (yes, the boar has eye lashes, top and
bottom) is perfectly defined.

In addition, this is the only Georgia note of any variety that your cataloger, with more than five decades of experience in the field of Colonial Currency,
has ever seen or heard of with an Inverted Seal. While we hesitate to label any item as unique, no other specialist in this field has ever seen a similar

20025 Maryland MD-63 and MD-65 thru MD-67 April 10, 1774
$1/3, $2/3, $1 and $2 PCGS Choice About New 55PPQ.

PCGS numbers this MD-63 to 67, but in reality the MD-64 note, the $1/2
denomination, is not included due to a very odd layout of the original
sheet. This is quite a common note heavily circulated, but this offered
item is an important rarity for two reasons. Firstly, these notes are virtu-
ally unseen at this grade level and secondarily multiples of this issue are
very very rare. PCGS has graded only 21 uncirculated examples for the
entire eleven-note series. This is the only multiple that is reported in their
population report for the entire series. All four notes are very well signed,
all share the same serial number, and all have very large sections of their
indent remaining. An extraordinary item for the Maryland specialist or
the Colonial generalist.

Net.

Like the Revere Sword in Hand notes, this is an iconic Colonial currency
type and difficult to obtain in all grades. Especially so well printed and
attractive. Its unique character is due to the politically charged vignette
on the face. Over the years these have been known as “Allegorical” or
“Gunpowder” notes. As we discussed in our Newman Collection cata-
logs, eight denominations were issued from the series with the $16 being
the rarest in our experience. The common face design for the issue,
adapted from a woodcut by Thomas Sparrow, shows standing Britannia
receiving the petition (CONG PETI) of the Continental Congress from
America, who tramples the named scroll of SLAVERY. George III is
shown stomping on the M.[AGNA] CHARTA as he holds out the torch
to burn an American port being attacked by the British fleet. At each
end are mottoes: AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN and PRO ARIS ET FOCIS
(For altars and the hearth). The back allegory represents a future peace
between America and Britannia; the motto on the scroll below is PAX
TRIUMPHIS POTIOR (Peace is preferable to victory). In the corners,
deftly placed in the borders, are clockwise from the upper left, the sig-
nature of TSSPARROW, LIBERTY, 1775 and E.G. (for printer Frederick
Green). There is no other Colonial type that compares to this special
series emitted shortly after the Battle of Lexington and official war decla-
rations. The series circulated heavily and the majority of these rare notes
known today are damaged in some manner and usually repaired. This
note also has seen some repairs as noted by PMG with its “Net” designa-
tion. However, this piece is full and broad with wide margins in nearly all
places. Sharp designs on both sides and very clear. The Newman notes
(seven of eight denominations issued) came in various grades and even
the lowest grade notes fetched over $1,000. In this handsome grade, we
would expect a healthy four-figure price. It will make a fine fit into any
Colonial note collection.

This is an iconic Colonial currency type. Its unique character is tied to
the politically charged vignette on the face. Eight denominations were
issued from the series, and few collectors have achieved a complete
set. The common face design for the issue, adapted from a woodcut
by Thomas Sparrow, shows standing Britannia receiving the petition
(CONG PETI) of the Continental Congress from America, who tram-
ples the named scroll of SLAVERY. George II is shown stomping on
M.[AGNA] CHARTA as he holds the torch to burn an American port
being attacked by the British fleet. PMG has assigned the Fine 15 grade
to this note, along with the Net comment for “Repairs.” The repairs are
primarily the upper left corner, which has been rebuilt and a number of
stains, likely rust, that have been masked with rather expert artwork.
This is a type which always attracts attention at public auction and this
example should find any number of people vying to make their home its

About New 55PPQ.

This Maryland $1/6 in spectacular condition originated in the Newman
Colonial note collection and very likely will never meet its better.
Circulating heavily in commerce, Maryland notes from the period, and
this series particularly, usually average Fine or less when encountered
today. This is the finest example of any denomination we have seen from
the series. The face border cuts were engraved on copper and the notes
were printed by Frederick Green, who also signed some notes on this
series. The back emblem is deeply printed and well detailed. No denomi-
nations from the issue are priced above Extremely Fine in Newman.
Fractional change types were especially hard used in circulation and are
much rarer in high grades. This gorgeous Maryland rectangular format
note realized $1,880 in our Newman Part VI sale in April 2015. We know
of no example to equal or surpass this great condition rarity.

perfect type note from the series and in the grade.” In this case, the note
bears different signers, Irvine and Nicols, and is 15 grade points higher,
with PMG calling it a 55. Their only comment is, “Hinged,” which is
likely correct but is certainly invisible through the holder. The Newman

PCGS has assigned the 30 Italic grade with the comment, “Minor

very many examples. This is an example of the so-called “Black Money”

back and on this example it is centered with near pinpoint accuracy. Both
signatures remain fully legible and the overall appearance is quite nice for
the issue. The prices for these vary widely and seem to have more to do
with eye appeal than technical grade. Our best guestimate for this good-

There are only four denominations in this compact series of extremely

example is exceptional for the type and may be the finest for the type.
Diminutive format, but printed on two sides by Frederick Green. The
Newman Collection had all four denominations, but each had some faults
here or there. They all sold for over $2,000 handily despite that. Sharp
corners, clean surfaces, and a bold signature. This beauty in a comment

20033 Massachusetts May 25, 1775 10s PCGS Apparent Very Fine 30.

A beautiful example of this evocative Paul Revere-engraved note, which
uses a Vine and leaf design for the indent and bears the words, “American
Paper” below it. We can recall only seeing one other example from the
entire issue with more letters present below the indent. This one shows
the tiniest touch of the “e” in American and the full “rican.” As usual, the
word “Paper” is complete. The note has been cancelled, but only by pen
lines drawn through the Henry Gardner signature. It has avoided the oft-
seen hole cancellations randomly punched through the center of most of
these notes. The plates were produced by Paul Revere in his own shop and
the date engraved by him is only five weeks after his “ride.” The Apparent
grade assigned by PCGS was due to “Split Restored.”

(as a 15s) PMG Choice Fine 15 Net.

There was a twenty-five year break in issuing paper in Massachusetts.
Massachusetts currency created an independent nationalist look when
Revere cut the copper plates for this issue, engraved with an “American
Paper” indent at the left. A uniface, wide format note from the copper
plate. One thing that did not change since paper money was created were
falsities. However, this is a uniquely made raised denomination from a 15
Shillings genuine and original note. Upping it to 40 Shillings was a handy
25 Shillings profit. But, 40 Shillings was a fictional denomination (the
highest authorized was 20 Shillings) and to hoodwink someone would
require someone not in the know of the emission. Some former splitting
was strengthened and PMG now notes “Repaired and Reconstructed.” Ex
Boyd-Ford collections. A fascinating piece.

20035 Massachusetts May 25, 1775 16s PMG Very Fine 30.

This highest graded PMG example for this entire issue is a VF 35 of a dif-
ferent denomination. This note is the finest graded 16 shilling example
at PMG. This note is part of a historic series of American paper cur-
rency. There was a twenty-five year break in issuing paper money in
Massachusetts after 1750. In this time period, the Colonial Americans
were becoming independent-minded, and more American than British.
The appearance of Massachusetts currency evolved to reflect these
nationalistic sentiments. Revere cut the copper plates for this issue,
engraved with an “American Paper” indent at the left. On this particular
example, the final four letters of American and the full word Paper are at
the left. PMG has noted, “Stain,” which is correct and “Pen Cancelled,”
which refers to two light red Xs drawn across the signature of Henry
Gardner. The note has dodged the often-seen hole cancels and has no sign
of any restoration. One of the very nicest examples that we have had the
privilege of handling.

they have net graded the note for those reasons. The note has a far nicer
appearance than the Fine 12 Net grade implies. We are reasonably certain
that this is the first time we have ever been able to offer three nice exam-

This is just the second time that we have offered this denomination on
this series. The plates for this note were engraved by Paul Revere, and
the printing for both sides was done in his shop. A truly great piece of
Americana, to be enjoyed not just by the Colonial Currency collector, but
also by anyone who appreciates the early history of our country. Splits
and stains are cited on the third party label. In October 2015, we sold the

attached “Haseltine Pedigree” green paper strip professionally removed to
conserve the back top edge with this “Minor Restoration” as noted on the
back of the encapsulation. However, bright and vivid on both sides with
the natural coarse paper used on the series exhibiting original textural

A Revolutionary War period contemporary counterfeit of an excessively
rare Paul Revere engraved “Sword in Hand” note. It is a most interesting
example of a quality made contemporary counterfeit from the period.
This is a particularly broad margined example that has edge splits noted
on its holder. These splits are trivial at best measuring only about one-
eighth inch at the extreme outer edges of the center fold. It is pen can-
celled across the face and has a lightly penned “Counterfeit” vertically on
the back. Both the face and back have four full margins and are very well
centered having all of the printed text and designs fully upon the paper.
Overall, it is an elusive counterfeit on an excessively rare genuine note.

20045 Province of New Hampshire December 25, 1734 Portsmouth Merchants’ Note 7 Shillings Fr. NH-38.4. PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45.
There were five denominations from this “Merchants’ Notes” issue as listed in Friedberg, with this listed as NH-38.4, which PMG accurately assigned
to the holder. This is a uniquely styled Colonial “Tall Bill,” and an intriguing issue, not unlike the 1740 banking “schemes” notes from Massachusetts.
These notes were issued by the group of merchants led by Hunking Wentworth, in Portsmouth, during the period the Crown prohibited the Colony from
emitting further bills of credit. Due to scarcity of other bills of credit and specie in circulation, the group issued these notes to facilitate commerce (hence
the motto BENEFICIO COMMERCTI on the face). However, early in 1735 a large group of Boston merchants agreed not to redeem such notes. These bills
were 1% interest bearing, payable in 1746. They were printed on two sides on laid paper from well-engraved copper plates. In the center are the detailed
obligations. Scrollwork and sculptural corners are at the top. At lower left is the Pine Tree emblem with the motto BENEFICIO COMMERCTI. The back
has a distinctively designed ship sailing westward, with ornate scrollwork above. The face has three sharply penned signatures and is countersigned by
Hunking Wentworth on the back below the vignette. This is a very handsome example, well margined and broad. A wonderful representative from this
interesting series and New England “tall” bills as a class. PMG has mentioned “Tears,” the location of which elude us, but they are certainly minor.

A rare note from a classic, early issued series. Commercial restraint by the Home Country encouraged the colonists to create their own financing when
needed in the form of such backed bills like this and later the shilling coinages from Massachusetts. These two-sided notes are printed from well-crafted
plates including the backs with the folk-art style ship vignette. Meriting much study and discussion for well over a century, Kevin Lafond discusses these
at great length in his newly-published opus on New Hampshire merchant scrip. He brings Hunking Wentworth and the other members of this cartel to
life for the first time. This net graded note is “Repaired and Reconstructed,” yet still maintains an attractive appearance. The John Rindge, Joshua Peirce
and Henry Sherburne on the face and Hunking Wentworth on the back are all well accomplished. Choice grade notes, when encountered, are always
five-figures. We sold a PCGS About New 53 from the Newman Collection for $21,600 in 2017. Ex Henry Chapman. This represents an excellent potential
value at a reasonable level.

With its Newman Collection pedigree, this example is an ideal candidate
to represent New Hampshire in a top-flight “13 Colony” set. A superb
looking note from this series, with the printing, typeset, and ornaments
attributed to Daniel Fowle. The 3 Pounds was the highest denomina-
tion, and this bill was due 20th December, 1777. Virtually as made, with
minimal handling. It has lovely originality, and the embossing to the
blank back is plainly visible. Well margined and showing a nicely shaped
left indent. This note is similar to the Boyd raw uncirculated note sold as
Ford X: Lot 4740 at $5,750. Another stellar note that joined the collector’s
community when we sold it at the Newman Part VI sale in April 2015.
The price of $2,820 was quite reasonable for such an extremely scarce

20050 New Hampshire July 3, 1776 $5 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20.
This is a high denomination example from the second Daniel Fowle,
Portsmouth imprinted series of notes. Like the first Fowle series, this
used an interesting ornamental and typesetting style, much different
from the Massachusetts notes of the time, and thus it exhibits a special
character. All six denominations are unpriced in Newman and Friedberg.
This issue appears to require some additional research as the mottos in
Newman do not correspond to the reality of the notes in all cases. PCGS
assigned the Apparent VF 20 grade due to an “Edge Tear at Left.” We sold
an inferior example four years ago that realized over $1,700.

20051 State of New Hampshire April 29, 1780 $5-$7-$8-$20-$1-$2-$3-$4 Uncut Sheet PCGS Apparent Very Fine 30.

This is the only uncut issued sheet of New Hampshire Colonials that we have cataloged and it is also the only full pane example that we have ever seen.
Multiples of 1780 Guaranteed United States notes from any other state are virtually unknown, except for Rhode Island. Each note on the face of this
issued sheet has the signatures of E. Robinson, J. McClure, and J. Pearson. John Taylor Gilman guarantor signatures appear on the back of each note, but
now all are light. The Apparent grade is for each being hole-punch cancelled, stains, and minor internal splits. Nonetheless, it remains a rare sheet. A key
New Hampshire piece missing from all the major Colonial sheet collections we have studied.

Starting Bid: $1,500

20052 State of New Hampshire Act of January 16, 1782 “To Nicholas Gilman” Soldier’s Payment Form 4 Pounds 14 Shillings for Service in 1781
Anderson-Smythe Unlisted PMG Choice Very Fine 35.

An interesting and very rare payment form issued after the war for services and also payable for taxes. Printed on laid paper, moderate size format and
hole-punch cancelled. Fully issued and docketed on the verso. Excellent grade with a strong signature from Weare as president. There is minor toning
overall, but the paper with exceptional body. Exceedingly rare we believe and the excellent condition is a bonus. The rarest New Hampshire fiscal paper
is always well regarded. (Total: 2 items)

A gorgeous example of this red and blue £3 New Jersey note. This entire
issue is extremely common save for the top two denominations, the £3
and the £6, both of which are the only tri-color notes for the issue. This
piece is beautifully margined, with an extraordinarily sharp New Jersey
coat of arms on the front. The note has the Exceptional Paper Quality

20055 New Jersey March 25, 1776 £3 PMG Choice About Unc 58
EPQx.

Whatever caused the AU grade is not visible to us through the holder.
The note is simply spectacular, with every detail of the New Jersey coat of
arms extremely sharp. The blue border outside the red border is complete
all the way around and untouched by any edge. The three signatures and
serial number are as dark and bold as the day they were applied and the
level of embossing goes beyond anything that we can recall seeing for this
denomination of this issue. PMG has added the star designation along
with the EPQ which basically acts to indicate that the note is at the very
upper end of the assigned grade and the Exceptional Paper Quality is
pronounced. Certainly worth far above the typical dull AUs that are seen.
This one impresses us.

20056 New Jersey March 25, 1776 £6 PMG Choice Uncirculated 63.
An extremely nice example of this £6 Tricolor New Jersey note, with PMG
adding the comment, “Good Embossing.” At the far left, in the red orna-
mentation, appears the name, “Rittenhouse,” for David Rittenhouse, the
man who became the first Director of the U.S. Mint in 1792. Rittenhouse
engraved at least part, and likely all, of the face for this note. The note is
well-signed. Not a rare issue, but a somewhat scarce denomination and
this along with the £3 is highly desirable for its elaborate tri-color appear-
ance. The Newman note graded PCGS About New 58PPQ and still real-
ized over $1,500.

20057 New Jersey 1786 6s PCGS Very Fine 25.

A scarce note that formerly resided in the F.C.C. Boyd Collection and
was later a part of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, where it was auctioned
as lot 8307. The most impressive traits of this piece are its four wide
margins and clean paper. J(ames) Ewing, one of the signers of this note,
was the youngest son of Thomas Ewing, Sr. and Mary Maskell. James
was born on July 12, 1744 and participated in the less famous New Jersey
“Tea Party”. On the night of Thursday, December 22, 1774, Ewing and
others destroyed a quantity of tea which had been landed at Greenwich,
New Jersey, contrary to the Articles of Association of the Continental
Congress. Ewing was also a partner of Isaac Collins, who was the printer
of the New Jersey Gazette and the printer of this note.

Between both grading services, only four notes have been seen in total
for the entire issue. This one is the sole 20 shillings (£1) example graded
by PMG and PCGS has seen none. It’s a rather crudely executed note,
typical of the time frame for New York. PMG has accurately commented,
“Repaired and Reconstructed” and properly assigned the VG 10 Net

20060 Colony of New York April 15, 1758 10 Pounds Fr. NY-154
PCGS Apparent About New 53.

Only two denominations were printed for this Crown Point Expedition
funding series. A rare type in any grade, but when encountered, they are
usually split or in unstable condition due to the thick, coarse backs used.
This is one of the finest known examples for the type and appears nearly
as made from the face. The New York coat of arms at the right is bold.
Borders are on three sides with ornaments along the bottom. The three
signatures of Livingston, Clarkson, and Van Horne are clear. Very well
margined and deeply printed. Noted with “Minor Mounting Remnants
on Back.” The similar Boyd collection note, Ford Part IH: Lot 634, real-
ized $1,955 in May 2004. Initially this was sold after being impounded
in the Newman Collection for decades in our Newman Part VIII sale in
2017 for $1,800. This note is illustrated on the color plates in the fifth edi-
tion of the Newman reference on page 51. Underrated in this exceptional
state of preservation.

20061 New Windsor, (New York) - Isaac Schultz “pay the Bearer on
demand” June 1, 1791 1 Penny Newman page 309, Harris H4 PCGS
Apparent Very Fine 30.

Most of the private small change notes from this early American Federal
period are very rare. The U.S. Mint had not opened and begun minting
coins leaving commerce to deal with a plethora of coppers from Colonies,
the Confederation, and foreign lands. This diminutive square-format
note is extremely rare and the only one we have cataloged. Printed on laid
paper on both sides, but without an imprint. The face has ornamental
bordering enclosing the obligation and the printed name of Isaac Schultz.
The back has a fancy ornamental cartouche enclosing “One Penny.” The
countersignature of Schultz at the base makes this fully issued. Noted
only with a “Small Edge Split at Left.” An important note that we origi-
nally sold in the Newman Collection Internet Part 2 sale.

Starting Bid: $500

20062 New York April 18, 1786 5s PCGS Apparent Very Fine 20.

We have only handled about a half dozen notes from this issue, all of
which are rather low grade. This one has been graded VF 20 Apparent by
PCGS for “Splits, Stains, Partially Backed.” The backing is a wide piece
of paper tape reinforcing the center split. The stains are fairly minimal
as are the splits. The vignette is excellent and untouched by any of the
problems and virtually every letter of the text is 100% legible. The two
signatures are strong and for an issue as rare as this, this is a very nice
representative example. The note was sold by us two years ago this month
and has now returned rather quickly to the market. Really rare issues
without much eye appeal simply don’t get the attention they deserve. This
note slips into that slot. From rarity alone, it should be worth multiples of
our thousand dollar estimate, but we suspect we will be within a few hun-
dred dollars one way or the other of correct.

20063 New York, Castorland. Compagnie de New-Yorck. June
28, 1793. Coupon Indivis. Shares of Settlement Land. PMG About
Uncirculated 55.

A wonderful piece of early New York history. Indented at left, this certifi-
cate represents shares of land for a settler. According to Wikipedia, “The
village name means ‘Land of the Beaver,” and the embossed seal at lower
left includes a representation of a beaver gnawing on a tree. Wikipedia
also states regarding Castorland, “The name stems from a colony of
refugees from the French Revolution, established in 1792 to provide a
new home away from the violence in France. The land, 210,000 acres (850
km2), was originally part of Macomb’s Purchase. It was purchased by La
Compagnie de New York. “Castorland” is a literal translation of the old
Indian name of the area.” PMG included the comment, “Annotation,”
referring to a lightly penciled area at the upper left corner of the plain
back. Formerly part of the F.C.C. Boyd collection.

20064 Little Falls, NY- Unknown Issuer (John Portious?) 4 Pence
Extremely Fine-About Uncirculated.

This rare post-colonial note is unsigned, although notes from this issuer
are listed in the Newman reference under the name of John Portens. It
comes with a small slip of paper dated 1796 signed by Mr. Portens, who
was almost certainly the issuer in this case. The initials “J.P.” appear
along the top of the note along with the denomination on this four pence
example. See page 306 in the Newman book. According to Newman,
these notes were issued at Little-Falls, Herkimer (Herkemer) County. The
issue was printed by “Cha. R. and G. Webster” of Albany. A rare early
small change note. We handled these items thirteen years ago and our
archive shows a sale price of $862.50. (Total: 2 items)

20065 North Carolina April 2, 1776 $1/8 Block of Six PMG Very Fine 20 Net.

Six of the eight different $1/8 notes from this complex and fascinating issue are represented on this sheet. It has all of the animal representations and
is missing only the two monogram varieties. Having never seen any multiple of $1/8 examples before, we are unsure if this is a complete sheet or if the
original sheet had the original two notes attached. From the margin size and overall appearance, this certainly appears to be an uncut sheet and PMG
has assigned that title. Whatever the case, this is a unique Colonial item and even with its obvious defect, which PMG calls a “Large Split,” it remains a
Colonial currency prize. That split affects only two of the six notes, the “steer” and the “lion.”

This highly attractive Crow & Pitcher $1/2 type has a very deep, velvety
black crow vignette at the lower left. A problem-free example, which is
rare for a 1776 Halifax series note. Well margined and appealing, this will
certainly fit nicely into any set of this series. With the desirable Newman

We consider this the best looking $4 Bee we have ever seen. Its technically
assigned grade perhaps does not do justice to its beauty. This attractive
topical type is bright and vibrant, like a new note. Its light quarter folding
is seen only from the back, and clearly defined laid paper lines attest to
its originality. Complete margins, sharp printing, and strong signatures
broaden its overall appeal. This stands far above the Newman example we
sold for $822.50. In 2002, nearly twenty years ago, we sold the last $4 Bee
that could compare with the present example for $1,322.50. However, the
eye appeal of this offering far surpasses that citation. The colony of North
Carolina is always strongly collected—especially notes from this 56-type
series. We would not be surprised to see this exceed its starting price
handily, perhaps by multiples. This acquisition will significantly enhance
the next great collection it joins.

of the higher denominations from this interesting and popular series.
The note is very sharply printed and bold. It is balanced beautifully with
even, generous margins. The leopard’s spots are well defined; this is
another very enchanting period image from the engraved plates used for
this issue. This is a problem free example, unusual for any note from the

Protection of Providence Contemporary Counterfeit PCGS Apparent
Very Fine 35.

Genuine notes from the series were printed by Hugh Walker. This highest
denomination note is a rare contemporary counterfeit. At lower left, the
motto “A Righteous Cause, the Pro- / tection of Providence” is seen. This
is the Newman Plate Note illustrated on page 473 of the 5th edition. The
diagnostic is the sloping third line of text in the face obligation. However,
a comparison with the genuine also shows the fourth and fifth lines tilt
downward, and a number of words, particularly HUNDRED are crooked
like their maker. The face diagnostics are clearly different from the genu-
ine. The note has only some “Small Edge Tears,” which resulted in the
Apparent grade. Very attractive, and an important note for the specialist.

20070 Salem, NC- Samuel Stotz/Moravian Church Uncut Sheet of
2d-2d-3d/2d-3d-4d/2d-3d-4d. Oct. 22, 1803 PMG About Uncirculated
55.

The area that became known as Salem was originally settled in 1753 by
members of the Moravian Church. The Moravians had relocated a num-
ber of times after emigrating to North America. This scrip was issued
by the Moravian Church and was denominated according to the English
system. In October of the following year, the records from the Directing
Boards of Salem noted that many merchants had already begun using
dollars and cents instead for the scrip they issued. An interesting aside is
that although North Carolina recognized the United States currency in
dollars and cents as the lawful currency in 1809, the change within the
state to dollars and cents was not made obligatory at that time.

Although the signer of this piece appears to be Stots, the signer was actu-
ally Samuel Stotz. Some surviving examples were signed by both Samuel
Stotz and Conrad Kreuser, but as is often the case, these notes were
signed solely by Stotz. Brother Samuel Stotz (Dec. 20, 1752-Sep. 5, 1820)
was very involved in church affairs and served in a variety of capacities
over the years. On June 16, 1785 he was appointed as the first fire-master.
He was also very involved in a large water system project. Stotz served as
the first Warden, or Treasurer, of the Salem Congregation beginning in
1797.

The sheet is fully bright, with a strong signature and partially handwrit-
ten date of October 22, 1803. PMG cites an annotation, which is a lightly
pencilled word at the upper left of the face. They also mention a small
tear, which is in the upper edge outside the notes and rather immaterial.

high grade Ben Franklin-printed notes. This one with its bright paper

Surprisingly, there is very little price difference between 65s, 66s, and 67s.

20077 Rhode Island July 5, 1715 Redated 1721 4s 6d Fr. RI-12b PMG Extremely Fine 40 Net.

All early “Tall Bills” of credit are rare to unique. They are among the elite of Colonial currency collecting and encountered in the most important col-
lections such as Boyd, Newman, Clarke, Haseltine, Chapman, and other luminaries who recognized their historic significance and rarity. This note has
considerable eye appeal, but has some noted restoration. It is sharply printed and has excellent red color remaining on the back filigree work. The note
is from the “Second Bank” series and acted as a loan with any interest due payable in flax and hemp (noted in the act, but not the obligation). The obli-
gation text is in the center, indenting aviary details at the top. The Rhode Island arms appear at the lower left as does the Rhode Island emblem. Three
bold signatures of William Coddington, Robert Gardner and Nathaniel Coddington. The redate “1721” is at the right. The top half of the back is ornately
engraved and printed in red. Excellent paper body and deeply printed due to an early plate state. The Boyd Collection raw “Very Good” 5 pounds sold as
Ford Part II: Lot 557 for $14,950. The 5 Shillings Newman plate note, illustrated on page 374 of the fifth edition of The Early Paper Money of America,
sold in Newman Part VIII for $26,400 in fierce competition. This note is much finer and is likely unique for the denomination. This very solid example
has the attributes to clear five-figures with ease and is a Colonial note highlight in this well-rounded FUN 2020 auction sale.

a grade of 20 net for “Restoration,” which is indeed accurate although it is extremely well done and barely noticeable unless the note is candled. The
note has a far better appearance than the assigned VF 20 grade. All three signatures are dark and legible and all correspond with the list of signers in
the Newman reference. Calling any early Colonial note that was previously unknown and has now surfaced “unique” is a risk. However, with both the
Newman and Ford collections having sold over the past fifteen years with neither collection containing an example, the margin of error becomes slim-
mer. The rarity and quality of this note should combine to make the note realize slightly more or less than our estimate.

20079 Rhode Island May 3, 1775 2s PMG Choice Very Fine 35 Net.

A lovely note exhibiting exceptional embossing, excellent margins and
the overall visual appeal of a full XF. The note is well signed and both
the signature and serial number retain their full bright color. The entire
series is extremely scarce and this note is Top Pop at both services for its
denomination. At PMG it is Top Pop for the entire May, 1775 series, with
only one lower graded example from this denomination. PMG has net
graded the note as “Repaired, Trimmed”. The note does have a number
of well executed minor repairs of small holes, but the trimmed com-
ment seems baseless as the margins are exceptional and certainly appear
original in every sense. The signatures of Clarke and Bowler remain dark,
adding to the visual appeal. Rhode Island specialists and Colonial gener-
alists will recognize this note in this grade as a rare opportunity.

20080 Rhode Island June 16, 1775 30s PCGS Apparent Extremely
Fine 40.

The value of this rare Rhode Island note is held back, we believe, by the
fact that it so closely resembles the extremely common issue. It bears a
vignette of a codfish at the top center above the serial number. This is
quite a nice example, but PCGS has commented, “Restorations.” The only
one we see is an extremely well done rebuilding of the upper right corner
of the face.

The highest denomination of the issue with a printing of just 1,500. PMG
has graded only two of these notes with our current offering being the
best by a large margin. Also, we have previously auctioned only four
examples of this note. Those appearances took place in 2009 (2), 2010,
and 2017. All four of those third party graded pieces either graded Fine
12 or Fine 15 with each having either a Net or Apparent grade. The Net
grade for the note in this lot is for a restoration. We see several expertly
closed small edge tears and a replaced upper left corner tip when we
“candle” the note.

20082 Rhode Island July 2, 1780 Half Sheet of Eight $5, $1, $7, $2,

A half sheet of eight Rhode Island Guaranteed notes, one of each of the
following denominations: $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $7, $8, and $20. Each of the
notes is numbered and signed on the face by (Thomas) Rumreill in red
ink and (Metcalfe) Bowler in brown ink. The guarantee on the back is
unsigned. A few small tears are observed solely within the wide selvage. A
wonderfully-preserved, centuries-old half sheet that thankfully has been
preserved for the collectors among us who value the sheet format over the
opportunity to cut up a sheet for individual notes. We have sold several
similar half sheets and believe this example will realize around...

2505. PCGS Apparent Fine 15.

Currency notes such as this were Eric Newman’s collecting forté for over
eight decades. This diminutive note packs an impressive resume within
its simplicity and history. As an 1800 date and Shilling denomination
it is listed and plated in the Early Paper Money of America opus. As a
16 Cents Obsolete currency type, this is certainly one of the most inter-
esting odd denomination notes extant, unique to our knowledge, and
essential to form a complete set of denominations as published in Roger
Durand’s “Denominations” book. It was missing from all the major
denomination sets ever formed including Criswell, Durand, and the
definitive Schingoethe Collection, which had the 11 Cents / 8 Pence note
from this series (ex Durand 1993 Memphis at $4,400 and ex Schingoethe
Part 7, July 2007 at $4,025). That is the only other known note from this
Newman-listed series. This example is plated in multiple references. The
plate note in the Roger Durand “Denominations” volume where it is rated
“U” or “Uncollectible” and his Rhode Island book. Plated on page 403
of the fifth edition where it first appeared in the expanded 1976 edition.
Engraved August 22, 1800 date, the opening of the bank. The border
around the perimeter is a combination of lines and type ornaments. The
denomination “16 Cents.” is at top center with a “W” at left and “B” at the
right. A dominant ONE SHILLING is above the obligation. The signatures
of R.(owse) Babcock as president and A.(rnold) Clark as cashier remain
strong. Noted with a “Small Hole at the Left” as seen on all plated images
of this key piece. That aperture may have been a period spindle hole
used to string similar size notes together. A priceless American currency
note which was exhibited at the Newman Money Museums for decades.
Initially sold by us in the 2018 Newman Part X sale for a conservative
$1,440. It is priceless and for over eighty years considered unique.

20084 South Carolina November 15, 1775 2 Shillings 6 Pence Fr.
SC-103 PCGS Apparent About New 50.

An example in exceptional condition of the lowest denomination from
this Provincial Congress issue. Finding any note from this series in
Extremely Fine or better is a rare occurrence. Moreover, this lowest
denomination was in tremendous demand to make change, and most
known today are low grade or damaged. This About New example is
very sharply printed with broad margins for the type. Noted only with
some “Minor Stains” by PCGS. Those faults are petty in the big picture.
Difficult to improve upon and easily among the finest known. We ini-
tially cataloged and sold this in our October 2015 Newman Part VII sale
for $2,115. A stellar condition rarity with a prestigious pedigree.

Starting Bid: $1,000

20085 South Carolina November 15, 1775 3 Pounds Fr. SC-112 PCGS

The variety of emblems and use of a mixture of denomination-dependent
sizes makes this an interesting South Carolina Colonial note series. This
highest and rarest denomination from the series has a cannon vignette
emblem at the lower right and the motto ULTIMA RATIO (The final
reckoning). Noted only with some “Small Edge and Internal Splits.”
Evenly circulated and attractive. We originally sold this in our October
2015 Newman Part VII sale for $1,175. Underrated. A difficult type to
locate in any grade and almost never seen so appealing.

20089 South Carolina February 8, 1779 $50 Complete Sheet of Two PMG About Uncirculated 55.

Each of the denominations for these Thomas Coram-engraved notes were printed with two subjects to a sheet. There is a center fold that falls between
the two notes and affects neither. The issue was authorized by Ordinance No. 1113. Among the provisions was that the appointed Commissioners were
“exempted from duty in the militia” while the notes were being stamped, signed, and numbered. The Commissioners who signed these examples were
Edward Trescot, Joseph Atkinson, and Theodore Gaillard, Jr. When the plates for this issue were prepared, Thomas Coram of Charleston engraved both
the faces and the elaborate backs, but he did not sign his work. When $50, $70 and $90 denominations were added later in the year, Coram engraved his
name on the back of those three denominations. This $50 denomination bears the “T. Coram Sculp. 1779” in the ground below the knee of the mythical
Atlas. Coram was self taught and, in addition to his work as a merchant and engraver, he also studied painting with Henry Benbridge. Coram drew sev-
eral scenes of the Battle of Fort Moultrie. There are only two or three examples of this sheet known, one of which graded 64 EPQ by PMG that we sold in
our 2015 Central States auction for over $13,000. This sheet, while nine points lower, is in many respects identical to the Choice example we sold save for
the minor rust commented on by PMG. Minor is indeed the word. Certainly the $13,000 price is out of reach, but the pair currently being offered is likely
to approach the $10,000 mark.

Uncirculated 55 EPQ and PMG About Uncirculated 53.

Our consignor submitted these to us as a pair of the two different paper
color varieties described in Newman. We have never before noticed a
distinction and while they are not precisely the same tone, neither can
be described as bluish. In any event, both are very nice AU notes, nei-
ther with any problems at all. The 55 EPQ is more desirable, not simply
for grade, but also its wonderful centering. Both back vignettes come
extremely close to being entirely on the paper which is rarely the case
with this $90 denomination and its tall and wide elaborate engraving of
Hercules strangling a lion is well printed. (Total: 2 notes)

20092 South Carolina February 8, 1779 $100 Fr. SC-159 PMG
Uncirculated 62.

One of the finest examples we have encountered of this highest and rar-
est denomination from the Thomas Coram-engraved series. The 1779
Coram series, with its impeccable engraving style on both sides, is among
the most popular in the Colonial note canon. This type was specified in
the original ordinance, and 3,000 notes were authorized. Another beau-
tifully engraved type from this master artisan, with standing Athena
holding a spear and sword, and the motto GLORIAE FUNDAMENTUM
FORTITUDO (Bravery is the foundation of glory) on the ribbons. The
lively back features several emblems with a South Carolina palmetto tree
standing tall at the center, American and South Carolinian flags, a drum,
shields, and spears. Printed on slightly off-white paper and exhibiting
natural plate embossing lines on the back. Very broad face margins are
seen on three sides, and the face is well printed. The back has deeper
printing and the typical, slightly skewed centering. Not only is the $100
the rarest of the Coram series denominations, but this is among the finest
we have encountered.

This note was described by PMG on the back label as a remainder. This
was apparently due to the lack of a serial number. However, it bears the
two appropriate signatures, and we have never seen a serially numbered

and attractive. Also, the second occurrence of the word “Treasury” was
misspelled as, “TREASUSY.”

Indented Certificate at Charlestown Fully Accomplished Uncertified
Good.

The second example we are aware of. This is a complex large folio single-
sheet bond. Laid paper, partly-print form with left printed indent. A
very rare bond issued by the South Carolina General Assembly, dated
Charlestown (became Charleston, SC.) , April 1, 1783. It is for the sum
of 359 Pounds Sterling for “Corn and fodder supplies” for the South
Carolina State Commissary. It is signed by the Commissioners of the
Treasury, William Parker and Edward Blake. Signed on the blank back
by various South Carolina officials, Samuel Mathis, John Hatfield, and
William Freeman. In overall good condition, with some stress tearing
along several folds. Still holding together in one piece, though fragile. A
fascinating, early American financial instrument that should be worth
well in excess of its starting bid. Southern Colonial instruments like this
have always been in vogue.

Anderson 2. PMG Very Fine 30.

Our archive shows that we have sold only two other examples from
Sunderland, a 4s8d example graded PMG 50 which we sold in our
September 2008 Long Beach auction for $1,725 and more recently, a
£5 note in a PCGS 55 holder sold in our 2017 FUN auction for $2,115.
This Sunderland note is far rarer than the usually seen Tinmouth vari-
ety. It bears the bold dark brown signature of Ira Allen, the brother of
Ethan Allen. Ira was one of the founders of Vermont and a leader of
the Green Mountain Boys. Throughout the Revolution and the early
years of the republic of Vermont, Ira Allen was one of the foremost
men in the Vermont government, serving successively as a member of
the Committee of Safety, then as Treasurer and Surveyor General. He
signed this note during his term as Treasurer. Allen was also the man
who designed the seal of the State of Vermont. This wonderful example is
housed in a comment-free holder.

20097 Virginia March 4, 1773 £3 PMG Very Fine 25 Net.

PMG has graded only five examples of this note, with only two, both 35s,
above this beautiful 25. The net grade is for ink burn, which is so minor
that calling it out can only be looked at as silliness. We are virtually cer-
tain that this note was graded before the new manager at PMG finally
reigned in the net-happy graders. They still would correctly mention the
ink burn, but we are quite confident this note would no longer be net
graded. It is one of the more beautiful pieces we have seen from this entire
issue with its jet black inking, clearly written fill-ins and paper that very
closely approaches the tone it had the day it was printed.

“Test” or Essay Proof Fr. VA-72a PCGS Choice New 63PPQ.

An extraordinary Colonial piece that was exhibited in the Newman
Money Museums in St. Louis for decades and was studied carefully
by Eric while in his cabinet. To our knowledge, there is only one other
“Test” or Essay impression like this from the Virginia series, and it was
also from the Newman Collection (cf. Newman Part VIII: Lot 28160).
Proofs and essays are more frequently encountered in the Obsolete and
Federal currency series than in the Colonial. All known Colonial note
proof and essay types might be counted on the fingers of two hands. Like
its companion cited, this is an intriguing proof printed on the blue fiber
paper used for issued notes. The border cuts are complete on all sides.
There is no obligation or text. However, this is a “test” (as Eric referred
to it on page 444 of his fifth edition) proof, or it is perhaps appropriately
classified an essay for an unadopted design. The Virginia Colony coat of
arms is at the upper left vs. the upper right on the issued notes. Like the
Pistareen essay cited, the right and left border cuts are also in reversed
orientation compared to those on the issued notes. This very distinctive
and fascinating piece is the Newman plate note illustrated on page 444 of
the fifth edition of The Early Paper Money of America (EPMOA). Basically
as made, and a superb example of immense interest. A museum caliber
piece with that resume proven already by its longtime display.

The ink burn is extremely minor and the repairs appear to be simply
closed splits, with no rebuilding of the paper. The appearance of the note

collection of Courtesy autographs. The set was part of the John Jay Ford
inventory, which was auctioned off about 15 years ago. Each note in this
well-matched set of perforated first issue notes has been autographed by
A. U. Wyman vertically in bold black ink. All of the notes are the perfo-
rated with monogram variety. The Fr. 1240 received an italic grade due to
a minor stain. We have actually sold a number of courtesy autographed
notes in recent months and even the most mundane pieces seem to sell
for around $250-$350 each. The Fr. 1310 is worth a few hundred dollars
as a host note, not including the added value of the courtesy autograph.

20104 Fr. 1229 5¢ First Issue Vertical Strip of Three PCGS Choice
About New 58PPQ.

Perforated multiples have always been among the most desirable and rare
items in the field. The auctioning of the Ford inventory over a period of
several years about a decade ago gave far more collectors the opportunity
to obtain one or two pieces for their holdings. As always, time marches
on and the Ford perforated multiples have been well absorbed by the
marketplace. While they are no longer truly rare, the number of offerings
has slowed and the prices are once again on the rise. High grade examples
rarely make it to the auction block. Most all have harsh folds through the
perforations. This brilliant triple has escaped that fate, and through its
PCGS 58PPQ holder it has most of the eye appeal of a gem.

Reverse PMG About Uncirculated 53.

Single notes of this invert (Milton 1R10.4d) are relatively common rated
R-6 by Milt Friedberg. However multiples are rare and this is the first
multiple of any size we have sold and there were none in the Friedberg,
O’Mara or Ford sales. A unique opportunity for the fractional special-
ist to add a rare multiple to their collection. There are comments on the

This pair is graded as an About New 50 by PCGS, which we are reason-

20107 ‘Fr. 1310a 50¢ First Issue PMG Uncirculated 62.

Perforated 14 refers to the number of perforations per 20 millimeters of
edge length. The normal perforations, on all other First Issue Fractional
notes, are slightly larger: perf. 12, or 12 perforations per 20 millimeters
of edge length. The generally accepted history of these smaller perforated
notes is that they were produced from two sheets by dealer Harlan P.
Smith circa 1890. This variety was listed by Blake, Valentine, Limpert and
Rothert as genuine, therefore it remains highly desirable and collectable
today. Fully perforated with good centering, bright colors and the extra-
wide sheet selvage on the right. That selvage contains back plate number
14TH.

Starting Bid: $1,250

SECOND ISSUE

20108 Fr. 1232 5¢ Cut Down Uncut Sheet Second Issue PMG
Extremely Fine 40.

This “complete” sheet of twenty is the only Second Issue sheet we have
ever seen that was cut down from a larger sheet. That seemingly bizarre
statement is definitively accurate. Both the face and back plate numbers
appear at the bottom of the sheet between the first and second subjects.
Those plate numbers should be at the intersection of the bottom left four
notes. That alone indicates that there was another row below...which
would have created a sheet of 25. While this is just a surmise based on
the position of the plate numbers, it is not a smoking gun. The fact that
seals the deal is the presence of parts of the fifth row of notes which are
showing below the second and third subjects. This cries out for further
research by a “no-life fractional nerd” or serious student of fractional cur-
rency. This most unusual sheet is graded accurately by PMG and is in a
comment-free holder.

Printed on a yellow-tan bond paper that has a small portion of the Olier
watermark in the top right corner of the back, this uncut pair is a rarity.
Multiples of fractional experimentals are rare in and of themselves, but
one with this distinctive watermark is indeed rare. The back of the holder

more common than the regular issue notes. There are only about a half

20114 Milton 2E50R.1 50¢ Second Issue Negative Essay PMG About
Uncirculated 50.

Lot 1069 from the Friedberg collection, this negative essay note has an
erroneous Milton number on the holder where it is also described as
“toned.” This is the second of this number known. It is printed on a
thin, fibrous paper, unlike the normally seen softer papers used for most
Negative Essays. It has two half-moon cancels with the right one so close
to the edge that a small nick is out of the paper. It is stamped with the
normal SPECIMEN but does not have the “D-5-18-63” that is seen on
many of the negative essays. The term “Negative Reverses,” or “Negative
Essays, came from the appearance of the notes, which looks at a glance
like a photo negative, that is, the dark areas appear light and the light
areas appear dark. The term has been universally accepted by Fractional
collectors, dealers and researchers. The notes were probably printed from
plates that had been made from other plates rather than from matrix dyes
or transfer rolls. However, this is not consistent throughout the entire
design, as the denomination, parts of the shield and the lettered ribbons
are not reversed. This back design was simply an unadopted proposal
where someone decided that certain design elements would look better
reversed.

extraordinarily well margined, with fully bright bronze and terrific eye

resemble guess what... spider legs. This cataloger has handled way more

est example that we have handled and that still holds today. In fact, this is
one of the finest examples of this number in existence. The note is strictly
uncirculated, with bright bronze and exceptional printing quality. The
margins are tight, and although they touch the frame line at the top right,
they are free of the design at all points. The note is lightly aged, but that
is typical of Fiber Paper notes. The all-important “a” is sharp, clear and
clean.

According to Track & Price, only two 67's and six 66's have crossed the

this lofty grade of 66 EPQ. The margins are outstanding, as are the colors.

and superb printing quality on both sides. There is a minor ink smear in
the somewhat narrow left face margin and another at the top of the back.
The four Green Back Spinners with the “A-2-6-5” surcharge are a very

to improve on this note will appear any time soon.” Accompanying this

note also has bright bronze and the full look of a Gem New example. PCGS has seen only four of this rare number with this being the only Uncirculated
note. Neither service has graded an Uncirculated Fr. 1371 save for this note. When we last sold this piece as part of the Tom Flynn Collection it realized

20148 Fractional Currency Shield, With Green Background Choice About New.

To our best knowledge there are less than a dozen Green Shields in existence, and the finest that we have handled. The green background color on this
Shield is as close to perfect as it gets, with all of the fine design elements clear and intact. The eagle and stars at the top of the Shield are as boldly green
as the back of a large size note, without the slightest hint of fading. Many of the notes are bright, but a few have toned. The 25¢ Second Issue back, which
is almost always faded on Shields is that way as well. The four hand-signed notes, the 50¢ Justice and Spinner, the 15¢ Grant-Sherman and the 10¢
Washington are all of the Colby-Spinner signature combination as they should be. The Shield is fully wide on its original paper all the way out to the
edges, and exhibits water staining at the bottom that touches the bottom of the two 3¢ faces and a small portion of the green design on the right. A small
stain is also seen in the very upper right corner that does not come close to the design. It is housed in a period frame, with the inner surface gold leafed
and the wide outer frame a dark hardwood. A spectacular item that is destined to wind up on the den or office wall of a serious fractional aficionado.

This Shield gives an overall impressive appearance. It does not suffer from the water staining so typical of most of the fractional shields. The white back-
ing is bright for a 140 year old item that has proudly been displayed during its lifetime. The shield also looks like it is housed in a near-period frame. The
brown paper back enclosure and hanging wire are probably of a more recent vintage. The hand-signed Justice and Grant-Sherman 15¢ faces are of the
Jeffries-Spinner signature combination, and the hand signed Washington 10¢ is of the Colby-Spinner combination. About half the notes show ink fading
of different degrees and the penmanship on the hand-signed notes shows some fading, too. The Second Issue 25¢ note that usually is seen a faded blue,
has not faded to that color. An attractive, pleasing Shield that is far better than most and ready to settle down in your den or study.

ENCASED POSTAGE
SSS

20150 HB-128 EP-31 2¢ J. Gault “Black Jack” Very Fine-Extremely Fine.
After our completion of the Mayer catalog, which was the largest collection of encased postage ever formed, this piece appeared as part of Ray Waltz’s
holdings. It was sold at a pre-ANA sale at the Philadelphia ANA in 2012. This piece appearing confirmed that there are definitely four known genuine
examples of the 2 cent Black Jack. The other three pieces are the Arnold Perl specimen, the piece in the Stack’s June 2004 sale of the Western collection,
and the Massachusetts Historical Society collection piece that auctioned in 1971. This piece has always been a mystery item. Fred Reed refers to it as
“enigmatic” and the cataloger of the June 2004 Stack’s sale stated correctly, “It is unknown whether any Black Jacks were put into encasements by Scovill
at Gault’s order.” They also observed, “... the issue was known to be rare and desirable nearly a century ago, suggesting that it has the authenticity of age.”
The confusion arises out of the fact that the “Black Jack” stamp was not issued until July 1, 1863, well after most or all of Gault’s encased pieces had been
produced. It seems unlikely that experimental pieces would have been produced at the end of the Encased era, rather than at the beginning. The current-
ly offered piece is definitively the Ray Waltz specimen. A rectangular stamp hinge partial album page or some other foreign object had been mounted to
the back at one point. It is now removed, but it has left an imprint. Interestingly, it seems to have been applied extremely early on as there is more silver-
ing in the area where it was removed than anywhere else on the piece. In the most recent sales, the Stack’s 2004 piece realized just over $18,000 and our
2007 piece brought just under $14,000. This piece, in its 2012 appearance, realized $11,750. The appearance of any Black Jack creates a considerable stir
among the collecting community. We would anticipate a realization tonight certainly above the $10,000 mark, quite possibly far above.

Unique to Our Best Knowledge 3 Cent Fancygoods - Missing from Perl, Ford & Mayer

20151 HB-51 EP-37a Scott-27 Reed-BA03F/G 3¢ Joseph L. Bates Fancygoods Extremely Fine.

Three Cent Bates pieces are extremely rare. The one-word “FANCYGOODS” was not known to exist until this piece was discovered in a 2008 Robert
Siegel stamp auction. This is the only known piece. Neither the Ford nor Mayer collections contained this piece and it was considered non-existent
through the history of encased postage collecting. Even the two-word “FANCY GOODS?” is represented by perhaps three to five examples. The Ford
piece went on to become the Mayer piece.

This encasement is beyond reproach for genuineness and is a virtually flawless Extremely Fine example, with a brilliantly colored stamp. To nitpick the
stamp, the stamp has a few minor wrinkles and the mica shows some totally unimportant separations and crazes. In the current market, this piece is
unlikely to cross into five figures, but it certainly deserves to.

Possibly Unique 5¢ North America Life Insurance Straight Insurance

20152 HB-192 EP-88 Scott-142 Reed-NAO5ST 5¢ North America Life Insurance Straight Insurance About New

Previously part of our Mayer Collection sale in 2007. Frederick Mayer obtained this piece from the February 25, 1987 Robert Siegel auction. It was the
only piece missing from the North America set in the massive June 2004 Stack’s sale of the Western Collection. The Reed auction census shows twelve
appearances in the 104-year survey period, and it is likely that this piece is one of just two known. We have not seen another, and we entertain the possi-
bility that this piece may be unique. The case is a medium golden tan, with some reddish highlights. The stamp is rather fresh, with just a lightly stained
area on Jefferson’s forehead, and the mica is far above average. It is completely clear, with just the typical crazes at the outer edges. In our Mayer sale, is
realized $3,400 and in our opinion was one of the great bargains that day. Do not use the previous price realized as your guide if you wish to go home
with this piece.

Starting Bid: $2,000

Unique Five Cent Curved Insurance

20153 HB-193 EP-88b Scott-unl. Reed-NA05CU 5¢ North America Life Insurance Curved Insurance About New

Our description when we offered this piece as part of the Mayer collection in 2007 read, “Previously Lot 576 from the Stack’s June 2004 sale of the
Western Collection, this encasement was acquired for that collection on August 13, 1956 from T. James Clarke. This piece never appeared at public auc-
tion sale during the 104-year period that Reed surveyed, and he comments in his rarity table that it “doesn’t exist. It does. The piece is a solid, problem
free example, with a natural two-tone high grade case, an attractive stamp and a clear mica with only minor crazing at the top and bottom. Both the
Curved Insurance and Straight Insurance 5¢ North America pieces are excessively rare, and most major collections have no example of this denomina-
tion. Mr Mayer’s collection is the first to have both. Few truly unique items exist in Encased Postage or most other numismatic pursuits. This is one of
those items, and as it is a piece of Encased Postage rather than a mainstream coin or currency item, it will not realize the seven-figure price one would
expect. In fact, though possible, it is unlikely to hit five figures.”

Likely Unique Ten Cent Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla Ribbed Frame

20154 HB-37 EP-99 10¢ Ayer’s Sarsaparilla Medium Ayer’s Ribbed
Frame Very Fine.

Probably from our Mayer sale, this piece is almost certainly the Dunham
piece. Fred Reed considers it to be unique, and we are inclined to agree,
as it is certainly the only example we know of. The Reed auction records
indicate six appearances over his 104 year survey period. The case has
circulated down to the VF grade, but it is totally problem free and tightly
and evenly closed. The stamp is a bit toned, but it has retained most of its
original green color. The mica has some minor crazing, and one cracked
spot just to the left of Washington’s mouth.

Starting Bid: $1,250

20155 HB-58 EP-102a Scott-29b Reed-BA10FG 10¢ Joseph L. Bates
Fancygoods Ribbed Frame Extremely Fine.

Previously lot 12717 in our September 2007 Long Beach auction of the
Fred Mayer collection. Mr. Mayer acquired this piece as Lot 407 from
Stack’s June 2004 sale of the Western Collection. Strangely, no mention
of its extremely rarity was made in that auction description. Fred Reed
shows this piece as an R-10 an comments, “Unique.” This cataloger is in
total agreement. Only three auction appearances are in Reed’s 104-year
survey, all of which are without a doubt re-appearances of this piece.
The case is a solid XF or a bit better. There are very minor traces of silver
behind the letters, and considerably more original mint (factory?) color.
The stamp is quite fresh, but it is centered a hair low, and the mica is
completely clear, but it has a few cracks and crazes at its outer edge both
top and bottom. In spite of no mention of its rarity in its 2004 Western
Collection sale appearance, the piece cost Mr. Mayer well over $3,000.
Starting Bid: $1,750

20156 HB-40 EP-137 Scott-18 Reed-AS12MD 12¢ Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
Medium Ayer’s Extremely Fine.

The case is a deep, even mahogany with brighter highlights behind the
letters. The die crack is plainly visible, ending under the “Y” of “AYER’S.”
The stamp is beautifully centered, with terrific color, and the mica shows
only very minor flaws at its outer edges, but it is clear and glossy. Reed
lists this piece as an R-8 indicating 5 to 10 known, and shows that there
have been 22 auction appearances in the 104-year length of his survey.
Frederick Mayer indicated on his flip that this piece is the Arnold Perl
specimen from Stack’s December 1969 sale. A lovely Twelve Cent, ideal
for a denomination set.

Starting Bid: $750

20157 HB-156 EP-151 Reed-IH12RB 12¢ Irving House Hunt & Nash
Ribbed Frame About New.

When we sold Bill Kelly’s collection of encased postage in our January
FUN 2012 auction, we described this piece as, “Reed comments, “Two
known’ for this R-9 piece, but we know for sure of three, and suspect
a fourth. A typo in the HB reference causes some confusion about the
number of this piece. The EP and HB numbers were flipped in the
Hodder-Bowers reference, causing the 5¢ and 12¢ to have the same HB
number. In June of 2004, Stack’s followed that lead and got the numbers
wrong in their catalog. In any event, this is an important rarity. This
piece was purchased from us at our 2007 FUN sale. It’s a very nice piece
with a beautiful light brass case, near fully bright stamp and essentially
perfect mica.”

Starting Bid: $2,000

20158 HB-156 EP-151 12¢ Irving House - Hunt & Nash Ribbed
Frame Extremely Fine.

A rare example of a ribbed encasement, the case is a solid XF, with the
back a light chestnut brown with no issues. The stamp is bright, and the
mica is clear, with a few of the normal separations and minor crazes.

20159 HB-156 EP-151 12¢ Irving House Hunt & Nash - Ribbed
Frame Very Fine.

An extremely rare piece, with less than five examples known. This piece
is tightly closed, and a problem-free chestnut color, not often seen for this
merchant. The mica is virtually perfect, and the black 12¢ stamp remains
bright and vivid. Another major rarity for the advanced collector.
Starting Bid: $1,500

20160 HB-115 EP-166 24¢ Ellis McAlpin & Company Very Fine.

The case is a nice chocolate brown, totally defect free, and very attractive.
It is 100% clear, with no cracks, crazes or disturbances of any kind. The
stamp has discolored to a light blue-green color. Surprisingly, the 24¢ is
one of the most common denominations for this merchant and one of the
more available of the 24¢ encasements.

Starting Bid: $500

20161 HB-UNL EP-95? 24¢ Feuchtwanger Strip Very Fine.

This strip is identical in size and design to the more commonly seen 9¢
strips, except that this one contains nine 3¢ stamps. The first stamp is
oriented horizontally like the 9¢ examples, but the other seven stamps are
sitting vertically on top of each other. The mica covering the left stamp
is present but has a crack at each end. The stamps themselves are in nice
shape and have no visible soiling or stains. The rest of the mica is in good
shape with no cracks or breaks. The case has a lot of the original red color
in its recessed areas but has two vertical black streaks on the back. It is
definitely an interesting piece for the Encased Postage collector.

Starting Bid: $500

20162 Unique 1¢ Experimental Piece About New.

There was no record of the existence of this piece prior to its discovery in
the Boyd estate after his death in 1958. It resurfaced in the estate of Ford
and was sold by Stack’s in Ford IV on June 23, 2004 as Lot 637. We saw it
briefly at that lot viewing and were convinced of the absolute authenticity
of the piece at that time. Now, under much better light in more comfort-
able circumstances, the piece is every bit as impressive and genuine as
we thought it was. As with all of the genuine encased experimentals, it’s
simply a matter of conjecture as to where, when, and how they were origi-
nally manufactured. It certainly could be a Scovill product, ordered up
by Gault as a prototype. It could just as easily have been manufactured by
an unknown third party for Gault or it may have been the result of some
individual’s attempt to duplicate Gault’s patented product. The case lacks
the half moon-shaped tabs that are on all of the Scovill/Gault pieces. It
also has a completely blank back and was sealed by a different machine or
method than the normal Scovill encased. The mica is clear save for minor
craze marks. The stamp is beautifully bright and the piece, whatever its
source, is untampered or molested in any way. An important part of the
history of encased postage and whatever its manufacture, it is one of the
few unquestionably genuine early 1860s experimental pieces.

Starting Bid: $2,000

20163 Unlisted 2¢ Tax Replaced Stamp Drake’s Plantation Bitters
Very Fine.

The encasement, which has the back of a Drake’s Plantation Bitters piece,
has been subtly pried open and this stamp placed inside. Whether this
was done for some experimental reason or an early attempt to defraud
collectors is unknowable. In any event, it has been around for over 150
years and is a very interesting collateral piece to an encased postage col-
lection. This piece (or potentially a second identical piece) appeared at
auction in the early 1900s.

CONFEDERATE NOTES

1861 ISSUES

The Randy Shipley Collection

Tennessee on February 9th, 1953, spent most of his life in eastern Tennessee, and died in Kingsport on

LD r. James Randall Shipley, otherwise known as “Randy” to his numerous friends, was born in Kingsport,
February 26th, 2019.

An avid archaeologist with professional training, Randy collected and researched eastern Tennessee native
artifacts for most of his life. He received a doctorate in law and worked as a judge advocate until deciding later
in life to pursue a successful career as a paper money dealer.

While as a dealer he was well versed in the collectible value of paper money and he was keenly interested in
its history. His knowledge of Confederate financial instruments was very deep, and consequently was a major
contributor to the current literature.

Randy discovered a great many endorsements on Confederate Type 39, 40, and 41 Treasury notes. In this auc-
tion you will find not only great rarities - some unique - but also many plate notes from the 908-page com-
pendium of military officers, government agents, and places of issue known as Confederate Quartermasters,
Commissaries, and Agents published in 2016.

Randy Shipley had an eye for the interesting and rare varieties of Confederate Treasury notes, Confederate
interim deposit receipts known as “IDRs,” and Obsolete notes, especially those of Tennessee. Here throughout
the FUN catalog and in future Heritage auctions, you will find many of his treasures.

A military paid out statement is penned on the back by N.L. Smith, a

Southern Bank Note Company struggled to produce this design and its
sister $50 denomination after Federal authorities shut down its parent
ABNCo in New York on April 25, 1861. Only 5,798 notes were issued.
This example has a very interesting stamped form signed by the bank’s
assistant cashier on the back indicating that the Bank of the State of
Georgia at Savannah had received this note, including $3.01 interest, on
June 25, 1862. $3.01 was the correct amount, equal to 1¢ interest earned
per day from August 28, 1861 to June 25, 1862. The note was apparently
withdrawn from circulation at that point as it has two small POCs and
a manuscript red ink Cancelled annotation on the face. There is also an
indistinct date stamp which may be that of one of the bank’s commercial
customers who deposited this note. This is only the second example of
this use which we have offered and is, by far, the nicer note of the two. A
must have for the Confederate or Georgia collector interested in having
something different and unusual.

Southern Bank Note Company (aka the New Orleans branch of ABNCo)
printed this design and a companion $100 (T5) note in the months fol-
lowing the start of the war. Both notes were intended to fill the gap left
by the loss of any additional notes from the North. The struggle to design
and produce these notes was long and hard because the New Orleans
branch was simply not staffed or equipped to design or produce large
quantities of notes. This $50 was obviously redeemed at some point as
there are four small punch cancels through the signatures and two slight-
ly larger punch cancels are found in the two upper “L” counters. This note
has an Apparent grade due to an edge tear at bottom right of center which
your cataloger has been unable to locate. It is obviously so small that it
has no impact whatsoever.

A perfectly lovely note with its minuscule handling hidden by the third
party encapsulation. The embossing is strong, the paper white, and
the green ink is dark on this example. The back has a penned issue
statement executed by Major and Assistant Quarter Master Isaac T.
Winnemore. He was a native of Pennsylvania, who was stationed in
New Orleans as an assistant quarter master for the CSA. He was trans-
ferred to Augusta when the city was evacuated. Eventually, Winnemore’s
character was questioned because of his northern origins. President
Jefferson Davis refused to endorse him and the Confederate Congress
rejected his appointment for a permanent position in the Quarter Master
Department. Winnemore was used in a provisional capacity.

20189 T17 $20 1861 PF-4 Cr. 99B PCGS Apparent Fine 12.

Although PCGS notes that this note has tears, splits and is backed, it is
nonetheless an extremely rare variety with a blue rather than a green
undertint. The deep blue color on this example is even more pronounced
than on the note pictured in Fricke on page 196 (2014 edition). Your cata-
loger is quite confident that this is NOT the result of a chemical reaction
or environmental damage. Fricke estimated only two known survivors in
2014 and that number has only grown to perhaps three. While this note
has some condition distractions, it still faces up quite well and brings to
mind that old paper money adage: “Bad breath is better than no breath at
all.” If or when a better example shows up, there will always be a market
for this great rarity. In the meantime, this note will be a wonderful high-
light of any CSA collection. This note could easily breach our conserva-
tive estimate.

A common note including the trans-Mississippi but made much rarer
with the two round Texana, TX postal stamps on the back. The lighter
stamp is dated April 24 and the darker stamp is dated Oct. 28. In 1883,
the New York, Texas and Mexican Railway bypassed the town. Shortly
thereafter, county voters decided to make Edna the county seat and by
1884 Texana was a virtual ghost town after being a bustling settlement for
almost 50 years.

20197 T22 $10 1861 PF-1 Cr. 150 PCGS New 62.

A pleasing example in a grade not typically seen for the Indian Family
design that looks as though it just came off the press. Printed by Southern
Bank Note Company, 58,860 examples were issued before the fall of New
Orleans brought all production to a halt. This design was intaglio printed,
utilizing all pre-war vignettes. Of the close to 250 T-22s graded by both
services, only a single other example has broached the uncirculated bar-
rier. Typical grades seen are Fine and Very Fine. We sold a single 58PPQ,
graded by PCGS, which brought $9,400 in our 2014 FUN sale. The best
quality PMG note that we sold was a Choice Extremely Fine note, which
realized just under $7,500 in our 2011 Central States sale. Tonight's offer-
ing is very likely to be the last opportunity to own a museum caliber T-22
for the foreseeable future.

20200 T23 $10 1861 PF-1 Cr. 153 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 30.
Printed from a printing plate donated by the Mechanics Savings Bank
of Savannah that was modified, this note includes a portrait of John
E. Ward, former Mayor of Savannah and President of the Mechanics
Savings Bank. The exact allegiances of Ward during the war are quite
cloudy. Although he has traditionally been portrayed as a Unionist, there
is also clear evidence that he assisted the Confederacy with a number of
diplomatic missions in Europe and China during the war. This example
has seen circulation but does not seem to have suffered any significant
damage or problems aside from even wear. The red-orange protectors and
design elements are in good condition, retaining most of their color and
brightness. PCGS notes mounting remnants on the back but they are of
no great consequence.

The rarest regular issue Confederate note with even fewer serial numbers
documented than for the T35 Indian Princess note. In fact, the T27 Fricke
PF-1 variety notes were sheetmates of the T35s. The combination of a
small printing on lower quality paper and being a workhorse denomina-
tion proved to be a formula for the T27s to quickly wear out. Fricke states
that this design is extremely rare in grades above Fine. This PMG VF 20
piece received a net grade with restoration and rust. The restoration was
skillfully performed and the rust is mostly seen on the back.

The fabled $5 “Indian Princess” is one of the keys for Confederate paper money. The example in this lot has serial number 6 and it is the second lowest
recorded serial of the approximately 140 surviving examples. This design was released into circulation in late 1861 and was quickly and mysteriously
discontinued. The vignette at right is of an Indian Princess and thus the moniker for T35. The vignette at left is of slaves loading cotton on a Mississippi
River boat. The Indian Princess vignette can be found on a few Obsoletes and also on the Confederate bonds of Ball 22 and 23. T35 grades above Fine
are extremely rare and problem free low grade examples are very rare according to the Fricke 2005 reference. We can confirm those observations with
our own over the years. The piece in this lot is almost fully framed and has a vertical repair to the left of the Indian Princess that leaves her undisturbed.

This was the first $2 issued by the Confederacy. The printer, Blanton

This note was incorrectly dated September 2, 1861 by the printer, Blanton
Duncan. When the mistake was discovered the date was corrected to
June 2, 1862. Thirty-six thousand examples with the incorrect date were
allowed into circulation making this a very scarce type. Restoration is
mentioned on the back label, which appears to be for the most part along
the top edge.

Captain and Assistant Quarter Master Rumble issued this $100 on March

Fricke Field Edition 2014. However, as this example does not match the
plated note in the McNeil quartermaster reference, we must believe that
this example is at least a second piece with the Rumble endorsement.
Captain Rumble served with the 7th Mississippi Regiment until late in
the war. He surrendered with the Army of the Department of Alabama,
Mississippi, and East Louisiana and was paroled on May 22, 1865.

PF-20 Cr. 308 PMG Extremely Fine 40.

Major John Murphy Commissary of Subsistence issued this note on April
10, 1863. There was only one note known with a Murphy endorsement
as of the writing of the McNeil quartermaster reference, but the note in
this lot must raise that number to at least two. Murphy was stationed in
Shelbyville, Tennessee when this $100 was issued. The Atlanta Campaign
saw him on the staff of General A.P. Stewart. Murphy surrendered with
General Joseph Johnston on April 26, 1865. Next, Murphy was paroled on
May 1, 1865 at Greensboro, North Carolina.

The McNeil plate note on page 193 of Confederate Quartermasters,

1862 PF-1 Cr. 298 PMG Fine 12.

Major and Quartermaster Goodwin preferred to use the word “dis-
bursed” instead of “issued.” The endorsement of this $100 reads,
“Disbursed March 3rd / 1863 / C.L. Goodwin / Major QM.” Goodwin
originally reported to Hampton’s Legion which was commanded by
General Wade Hampton III. The note in this lot was “disbursed” around
the time when Goodwin was in Rockbridge County, Virginia. The end of
the war saw him paroled at Greensboro, North Carolina.

20235 Manuscript Endorsement “R(ichard) J. Hill” T41 $100 1862
PF-12 Cr. 317A PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ.

As we read the red ink endorsement on the back of the note, we remarked
that this is unusual. The endorsement reads, “Interest Paid / March lst
1863 / R. J. Hill / A(ssitant) Q(uarter) M(aster) CSA.” We found on page
336 of Confederate Quartermasters, Commissaries, and Agents, Michael
McNeil states there are only two notes known where interest paid on a
note was performed by a quartermaster and not by a depositary. In both
cases, the quartermaster is R.J. Hill. Both of those notes are in this auc-
tion session. Hill served with the 22nd Regiment Alabama Volunteers
Deas Brigade at the beginning of the war. Hill was still attached to Deas
Brigade when the interest was paid on this $100. Hill later participated
in the Atlanta Campaign and he would be paroled at Montgomery on
May 10, 1865. Strong embossing is observed on this quality beauty that is
almost fully framed with three broad margins.

A rare variety as cited in Fricke’s Field Edition 2014. The Fricke 2005 ref-

C-note is very close to being fully framed. It is also the plate note on page

not Edward Carrington Cabell as cited on the third party holder. The
endorsement on the back states the remote location that this note was
issued from, “Issued Bonham Texas / Feby 28th 1863 / A.S. Cabell / Capt
& A.Q.M. C.S.A.” Cabell was stationed in Texas and the Indian Territory
during the war. There are secretarial signatures for Cabell, but the sig-
nature on this $100 is believed to be the man himself as explained in
McNeil. In fact, the endorsement is plated on page 156 of that important
reference. A penned interest paid to statement on the back appears to
have been also written in Captain Cabell’s hand.

moved with his unit to Tennessee. His next locations were Kentucky and
then back to Tennessee. Next, he went to Georgia where he was assigned
as the Post and Hospital Quartermaster at Marietta on Feb. 1, 1864. Four

oner exchange, Francis was in Pettus’ Brigade and was involved in the fighting at Chattanooga. There are several variations of Francis’ signature in the

This was originally the discovery note with a R(obert) P. Howell
endorsement. It realized $1,175 in our September, 2016 auction. Howell
endorsed this note on the back as, “R.P. Howell / Capt & AQM CSA /
January 11, 1863.” Howell is not listed in Michael McNeil’s Confederate
Quartermasters, Commissaries, and Agents. However, Mr. McNeil sup-
plied the following information to us. Howell was appointed as a captain
and assistant quartermaster of the 15th Battalion Georgia Partizan
(sic) Rangers on August 11, 1862. The years 1863 and 1864 saw him in
North Carolina. He was next in Virginia in the summer of 1864 where
he reported to Dearing’s Brigade of Beauregard’s command. The last
record of Howell was when he received pay for the two months ending on
December 31, 1864. He does not appear on the Appomattox parole lists. A
great historical note that is a nice example for the grade. It is still the only
Captain Howell endorsed note that we have auctioned.

This variety was long suspected, but was not confirmed until our con-
signor got a January, 2008 email from a fellow collector announcing
the latter’s good fortune that this variety had finally turned up. Our
consignor quickly purchased it knowing that a then deceased leading
Confederate collector had searched his entire collecting life and had never
been able to find an example. Ink burn is mentioned on the third party

Corinth, Mississippi and was called into service by Governor Pettus and
instructed to go to Lynchburg, Virginia, where he was mustered into
service with Company H of the 11th Regiment Mississippi Volunteers
on May 13, 1861. Hamilton would go on to serve in other units and was
appointed as major and quartermaster on October 4, 1862. Early 1863
saw him stationed in Rome, Georgia, where this note was issued. Future
posts brought him to Gainesville, Florida, where he surrendered at the
end of the war. Rarity for Hamilton is R15, one known, in the Fricke Field

Captain A. Pettyjohn served with the 45th Virginia Regiment. The
McNeil quartermaster reference states that Pettyjohn’s signature in this
style may be clerical. The 1863 dated note in this lot has a serial num-
ber that is very close to the plated example in McNeil on page 576. The
endorsement reads, “Paid 1 March /63 / A Pettyjohn / Capt AQM.”

to the cancels themselves but they have been done on the back so the note

We have handled previously two examples of PF-19IB with the piece in this lot enjoying a return engagement. We originally auctioned this error for
$7,050 in August, 2016. It has the highest grade of the two different that have crossed our auction block by ten third party grade points. It is also one of
the nicer examples of this Fricke number as listed by Fricke on page 432 of his Field Edition 2014. Several of the known examples of PF-19IB are either
locked away in the Museum of the Confederacy or in advanced collections.

20271 Inverted Back Error T59 $10 1863 PF-191B Cr. 442IB PMG
Very Fine 20, CC.

A rare inverted back Fricke number that is much rarer than the R11 given
to it in the Pierre Fricke Field Edition 2014. Number of notes known for
a R11 is 11 to 20. Fricke, in his 2005 opus Collecting Confederate Paper
Money on page 650, has a listing of 17 examples of this invert with seven
of those having their serial numbers documented, while the other ten
do not have their serial numbers listed. The note in this lot with serial
number 1324-G is not in the listing, but of the 17 listed, twelve reside in
the Museum of the Confederacy. This leaves very few examples of this
inverted back error for collectors to compete for.

20276 Complete Denomination Set of Confederate Chemicograph

1957-58 Bertram C464a; C465a; C466a; C467a; C468a; C469a.

These were originally printed as a set that consisted of six Chemicograph
backs with designs that were intended for the 1864 issues of the $5,
$10, $20, $50, $100, and $500 denominations. Back plates with these
designs were ordered by the Confederate Treasury from S. Straker &
Sons of London. The plates were made and shipped from London in
early January, 1864, only to disappear. Several more shipments were
made, but none of these got through the Union blockade. Examples
of the plates were found 75 years later and were later donated to the
Smithsonian Institution in 1958. These Reverse 1 examples are from the
fourth printing of 1957-58 that was executed by Confederate researcher,
Philip H. Chase. Chemicographs are described in detail in Confederate
Numismatica 2018 Supplement One by Peter Bertram. The $500, $100,
$50, $10, and $5 denominations grade PCGS Superb Gem New 69PPQ
and the $20 denomination weighs in at PCGS Superb Gem New 68PPQ.

20281 Ball 10 Cr. 1 $50 1861 Bond Extremely Fine-About Uncirculated.

A pleasing bond that appears quite fresh and exhibits a couple of light bends. Two years ago we sold a PMG 55 example for $3,000. It is one of 250 that
were initially issued signed by Clitherall.

Starting Bid: $1,000

20283 Ball 10 Cr. 1 $50 1861 Bond Very Fine-Extremely Fine Remainder.

According to Douglas Ball’s catalog, this serial number was from Book 4 of these bonds which ran in sequence from 751 to 1000. It is quite obvious that
this bond has been falsely filled in and signed as well as incorrectly dated May Ist, 1864.

20284 Ball 11 Cr. 1a $50 1861 Bond Extremely Fine.

An excessively rare Confederate bond and rightfully so as evidenced by its value in the 1979 Criswell and the 1998 Ball references. We have in fact offered
only two other Ball 11 bonds previously with this Ball number characterized by “Montgomery” being crossed-out and “Richmond” added in its stead.
This piece is dated Aug. 19, 1861 and signed by Register of the Treasury C(harles) T. J(ones). The serial numbers for this Richmond bond issue was 251
through 391 and this example is serial number 259. We also see that this bond was entered by Chief Clerk to the Treasurer H(enry) D. Capers and record-
ed by the Chief Clerk of the Register’s Office C(harles) T. J(ones). Jones was the one who when he earlier left a similar position with the United States gov-
ernment in Washington, DC absconded with many of the Treasury forms that a new government would need. A great piece of Confederate history and
certainly at the top of many want lists.

This issue which has Montgomery crossed out and Richmond, VA writ-
ten had just 141 examples printed. It is an excessively rare bond with

This $100 certificate bears the portrait of Andrew Jackson. Numbered
172 of the 250 that were issued at Montgomery, it is dated May 14, 1861.
This example was entered by HD Capers, Memminger’s personal sec-
retary, and recorded by CT Jones. It was signed by the first Register of
the Treasury, Alexander B. Clitherall. An assignment by JR Horsey to
Thomas M. Horsey of Charleston dated May 21, 1862 is observed on the
back of this piece. Hinge remnants are noticed on the back in all four cor-
ners.

20289 Ball 16 Cr. 4 $1000 1861 Bond Extremely Fine.

This registered bond was issued on May 14, 1861 at Montgomery shortly
before the Confederate capital was moved to Richmond. Very few of these
early bonds escaped redemption. This bond was once folded into fourths
and is a highly desirable financial artifact from the Civil War. A few scat-

Last offered by us at FUN 2016, it was described, “Register Clitherall
signed the majority of this Ball number that was issued at Montgomery.
The large red “1000” is bold. This example has three vertical folds and
minor pencil writing on the back. There are three edge tears up to
approximately one inch in length repaired with tape on the back and
there is also an approximately three-quarters-inch top edge tear that
has not been repaired. A few pinholes are also evident, and a couple of
the corners are shaved on this bond that was purchased by a patriotic
Confederate between Fort Sumter and First Manassas.”

Starting Bid: $625

20291 Ball 16 Cr. 4 $1000 1861 Bond Very Fine.

The first 810 bonds of this denomination were issued at Montgomery. The
portrait is of Confederate President Jefferson Davis when he was a United
States Senator from Mississippi. This Very Fine example with a trivial
edge nick and serial number 767 has a penned date of May 25, 1861. These
bonds were printed by ABNCo New Orleans.

Starting Bid: $500

20292 Ball 17 Cr. 4a $1000 1861 Bond Very Fine.

190 examples with Montgomery crossed out and Richmond written in
were issued for this denomination. This is just the third example we have

at upper right on the back including some pencilled annotations of a price
$82.50 which in today’s market would be a steal.

20299 Ball 150 Cr. 113 $1,000 1862 Bond Fine.

This handwritten denominated bond only had a grand total of 181
examples issued. They were issued in amounts from $100 to $14,550.
Only twenty bonds of the $1,000 denomination were issued. This bond
has serial number 41 and was issued to an administrator of an estate.
Ball gives this number a R7+ rarity rating which translates to just 4 to 10
extant for all issued denominations. This bond was engraved and printed
by George Dunn. He came to the CSA in 1862 with other Scottish print-
ers. Dunn has been described as one of the best engraving resources
of the Confederacy. The vignette on this bond is of the Confederate
Defenses at Drury’s Bluff. The vignette shows detail of partially sub-
merged stakes, a sunken ship, and floating ships. This example displays
staining throughout and a little ink erosion in Tyler's signature. This is
a great Confederate bond that is seldom encountered. In fact, this is only
the second Ball 150 that we have auctioned. The other was another Fine
described with extensive foxing and some pencilled collector notations on
the back. It took a winning bid of 8,050 in May, 2007 in order to add it to
someone's collection.

A rare early note from the days when Cahawba served as the state capital,
this $20 was issued to pay members of the state legislature. Simply printed
by Wm. B. Allen, this particular note was a bit underinked resulting in
light lettering on both ends. As is almost always the case with these early
issues, the note is hammer cancelled. Hugh Shull estimated a surviving
population of between five and fifteen pieces in his southern states book.

totally different design, is immeasurably finer, with its only flaw a couple
of minor splits which affect nothing. If rarity and desirability are any
guide, our estimate may well turn out to be conservative in the extreme.

20307 Chepultepec, AL- W.B Deaver & Son 5¢ October 20, 1862
Rosene UNL PMG Very Fine 20.

A simply great Alabama note from a community which no longer exists,
with its post office a structure where the community of Oneonta now
sits. What is left of Chepultepec is now the hamlet of Allgood, popula-
tion 632. W.B. Deaver was the first merchant to set up shop in the new
settlement of Chepultepec, which he named after serving as a volunteer
from the State of Alabama during the Mexican War. His store became
the post office in 1848, and was the only store and post office between
Gadsden and Elyton (today’s Birmingham.) His son, who operated the
business with him, joined the Confederate Army in early 1862 and was
killed at the Battle of Missionary Ridge in November of 1863. We know
of no other notes from either Chepultepec or from this issuer, making
this piece likely unique from both. Expect some serious bidding from the
many Alabama collectors before the hammer falls on this attractive fully
signed and issued rarity.

PMG Very Fine 20.

An excessively rare and perhaps unique note. Rosene lists this issuer as
“H. Bugbo,” (without any illustration) but it is assuredly N. Bugbee. Mr.
N(orman) Bugbee emigrated from Vermont to Gainesville in 1836, open-
ing up a store which flourished in the prosperous port city. The U.S. Post
Office now exists on the former site of the Bugbee store. We have seen or
heard of no other examples from this issuer, and this pretty note may well
be the sole numismatic item to memorialize Mr. Bugbee’s venture.

May of 2016, cataloging it as, “A striking, bright and vivid Reconstruction
era note from Mobile printed by the American Bank Note Co. The oval
center vignette shows sugar cane being loaded onto a wagon. Outstanding
imagery is exemplified by a dynamic allegory at the left. A female repre-
senting Peace (note the two crossed swords on the ground) greets Athena,
representing America with the Old Glory. At the right end, a sailor leans
on a capstan. There is a large green protector and red overstamp. The

20313 Selma, AL- Bank of Selma $50 Apr. 4, 1862 UNL PMG Very
Fine 25.

An excessively rare note which is an unlisted design in both the Haxby
and Rosene references. It was printed by Leggett, Keatinge & Ball in
Richmond, and bears an issue date of 1862. This undoubtedly transpired
as the bank ran out of pre-war northern printed notes. There is consider-
able text on both the front and back regarding its presentation for pay-
ment in 1871, the denial of which is likely the reason for the survival of
this piece. A unique piece of Alabama banking history probably produced
from salvaged plates and/or dies. Pen cancelled and pinholes are men-

Leggett, Keatinge & Ball printed a $50 and $100 for the Bank of Selma
in early 1862 (Before Leggett was forced out and before the firm moved
to Columbia, SC). This note design clearly has inspiration from RWH
designs of the 1830s and 1840s and may well have been produced from
a salvaged plate and/or dies. Not many of these have survived, with
estimates seen in the area of five to six examples. PMG notes that there
are repairs and replaced pieces along the left margin. History and rarity
should combine to trump the condition issues.

20315 St. Stephens, AL- Tombeckbe Bank $3 Sept. 11, 1825 G3 Rosene
306-1 PMG Choice Fine 15.

St. Stephens had been the eastern most city of the Mississippi Territory
prior to Mississippi becoming a state in 1817. When Mississippi gained
statehood, Alabama became its own territory and St. Stephens its first
capital. Alabama's first governor, William Wyatt Bibb, presided over the
first meeting of the territorial legislature at the Douglass Hotel. After tak-
ing the oath of office, the next order of business was to create the charter
of Alabama’s first bank, the “Tombecbee Bank.” The Tombeckbe Bank
was soon organized by Israel Pickens, who would go on to be Alabama's
third governor. Both the bank and St. Stephens would fall on hard times
when the capital was moved to Cahawba in 1820. This note is listed as
SENC, surviving example not confirmed, in the Haxby reference and
may well be unique for the denomination. It was the only example that we
have ever offered when we originally auctioned this note in January, 2010.
It brought $4,600 at that time and it still remains the only Rosene 306-1

PCGS Choice About New 55.

The vignettes on this note, which was represented by a single example in
the 1990 ABNCo Archives sale, are well selected to commemorate Jenny
Lind’s concert tour of America in 1850-52. Her portrait appears at right
while that of the grand promoter, P.T. Barnum appears at left. Barnum’s
grand mansion, Iranistan, appears in the center. The mansion was built
during the course of 1845-48. During her tour, Jenny Lind stayed there
and is said to have commented that a vignette of the mansion was what
prompted her to accept Barnum’s offer. The house was destroyed by fire
in 1857 as it was being renovated as the result of an earlier fire. We are
aware of only two examples of this design at present, with this note not
being from the ABNCo Archives. PCGS notes that this proof is mounted

Sometimes circulation lives of notes were extended by the addition of
more counterfeit deterrents. That was the case with this $100, originally
used in the early decades of the nineteenth century. Later (ca. 1860) a
red tint and three color counters were added, making it more difficult to
counterfeit. Although a large number of proofs from this bank were in
the ABNCo Archives holdings, this design was not. It appears that there
are very few of these proofs around. The only one of which we are aware
was sold as part of our 2005 Fort Lauderdale FUN Currency Signature

20329 Windham, CT- Windham Bank $1 Apr. 1, 1862 G8a PCGS
Very Fine 35PPQ.

The other vignettes on this note are nice but the note is very popular due
to the vignette on the right. As we said when we last sold an example of
this note in 2019: “In the lower right corner is a rather unique vignette
of some bullfrogs one very much alive and one, well, not so much. This
vignette commemorated the “Great Windham Frog Fight of 1754.’ 1754
found everyone in Windham on edge. The French and Indian War
offered constant threat of attack and as if that were not enough, a per-
sistent drought caused water problems in the area. The town folk were
awakened one sultry June night in 1754 by a ‘shrieking clattering roar.’
Most residents were immediately convinced that it was either the end of
the world or they were being attacked by some Native American warrior
band. The town’s men hastily armed themselves and fired volley after
volley in the direction of the racket, ‘Frog Pond. By morning the sound
had died down and scouts were sent in the direction of all of the racket.
What they found was the ground littered with dead and dying frogs - the
source of the previous night’s noise. Apparently the frogs had been locked
in a battle for the remaining water in the diminished Frog Pond. The rest,
as they say, is history. To this day the bridge going into Windham has a
large frog at each corner of the bridge on an eleven foot high pedestal.
There is also a frog in the seal of the City of Windham. Notes from this
bank with the frog vignette are avidly collected and attract bidders when
they appear. This evenly circulated example without condition qualifiers
should prove popular.” This is one of the nicest examples of this note that
we have seen.

three examples of this note. Haxby lists and illustrates a proof without
POCs and we offered an example with POCs as part of a group in 2018.
This example may be either the Haxby plate note or the sole example that
was present in the 1990 ABNCo Archives sale. In any case, a very low
number of survivors is indicated by the limited number of appearances
by this design since 1990. This note is on cardstock without the usual

Bisbee & Carnova was a grocery partnership doing business on the south

used for change making purposes. The evidence of previous mounting
mentioned by PMG is virtually indistinguishable through the holder.

55.

The Farmers Bank of Florida opened in 1834. In 1837, the bank’s officers
fled to Perry, GA, where they continued to issue even more bank notes.
The results were predictable and the bank’s charter was revoked in 1842,
undoubtedly with great loss to the noteholders. This proof is printed on
India paper with the usual POCs in the signature lines. PCGS notes stains
and mounting remnants on the back.

Benice 6 PMG Very Fine 30.

The plate note on page 65 of A Guide Book of Southern States Currency
by Hugh Shull that was based on the earlier Criswell reference. This issue
was printed by brothers N(athaniel) & S(imeon) S(mith) Jocelyn of New
Haven, (Connecticut.) The numbering for this issue started over at serial
number | on each day that notes were issued. This example has serial 17,
while our other T8 in this auction session has serial 18. Both pieces have
the penned date of June 12, 1830. The Territory of Florida was in exis-
tence from March 30, 1822 to March 3, 1845. Small ink burn repairs have
been made to the tail of the “7” in the serial and also in the “p” in “Sept”
that is part of the penned interest paid to statement on the back. Only the
most advanced collections have duplication of such rare notes.

the Eric Newman Collection. The Newman T9 graded PCGS Choice New

ized $7,343 in April, 2015. Our current offering is both attractive and in
a comment free holder save for the statement that this note has been pen
cancelled. Surpassing the earlier Newman figure is certainly within its
capabilities.

Benice 7 PCGS Very Fine 35PPQ.

A very scarce note from the second territorial series printed from the
engraved plates by N. & S.S. Jocelyn, New Haven. Among the Criswell-
Shull listed Southern States issues, it is quite distinctive due to its early,
1830-period dates, and engraved style. The exact rarity of Florida
Territory notes in collectors’ hands is difficult to determine, but approxi-
mately 20-30 notes of each denomination are known. This example has
period endorsements and is pen cancelled across the face.

A nicely preserved $3 even if it had been previously mounted long ago
with a pair of stamp hinges. It has a rarity rating of R6 with 13 to 30 avail-
able to collectors according to the Benice reference. The paper including
the edges are sound on this charming example that is fully framed. We
have auctioned only one other T10. That was the Newman note that grad-

Sporting serial number 11 (due to the peculiar way that these notes were
issued, there could well be additional serial number 11s - each day of issue
reset the serial number used to 1) this note is free of any significant con-
dition distractions and is neatly endorsed on the back by the auditor. A
great addition for any Florida or $3 note collection.

of handling. The edges do not have a single blemish and the paper does
not have a single pinhole. A great note that will certainly elevate the next

offered only one other issued example of this note. It was in the Eric
Newman Collection and graded PCGS Extremely Fine 45 Apparent. It
realized $5,640 in October, 2015. The Benice rarity rating for this denom-
ination is once again R6 with 13 to 30 available for collectors. The popula-
tion for all denominations of this issue must be much closer to the smaller
figure associated with R6. Also, what notes there are must be in very
strong hands as our experience shows that they rarely show up at auction.

PMG About Uncirculated 55.

This is an early proof, featuring a vignette of the bridge and its toll booths
at both ends, that was known in that form to Haxby, but not represented
in the 1990 ABNCo Archives sale. These early proofs that are not former
ABNCo residents tend to be more scarce, with usually only a handful or
less known. Because the issued notes from this issuer often tend to suffer
ink erosion problems in the signatures and other handwritten informa-
tion, this proof is a refreshing way to add a problem-free example.

Proof PCGS Apparent About New 50.

As we noted when this example, once part of the Eric P. Newman collec-
tion, was originally sold in 2015: “Though low grade issued notes from
this banking company are available, proofs are extremely rare, and we
believe this $100 India paper proof engraved by Leney & Rollinson is
unique. Using a custom vignette for the bank series, a fierce looking
eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch flies above the bridge in the
top center vignette. Tollbooths and gatekeepers are at either end to allow
passengers entry....This faces up as a stunning example, and the proof
denomination was not in the Alan Dorris Georgia Obsolete note collec-
tion, the finest ever formed. Noted only with some “Mounting Remnants
on Back [by PCGS].’ This note possesses great style and rarity.” Nothing
has changed in the intervening four plus years to alter this assessment.

This is king of all Georgia proofs and it comes with a mighty biography. It was a showpiece from the Alan Dorris Collection that we commenced selling
five years ago with the core collection notes. This was hands down the star achieving a $56,400 realization in combative competition. Amazingly, there
is an issued note known of the type. However, this is a unique full color print by Danforth, Wright & Co. It appears to be a series upon itself as there are
no known $20, $50 or $100 notes observed and was printed on one-subject sheet. India paper only. Standing Liberty is at the far left and the right end
has a ship within a finely lathed geometric frame. The color tint is splendid forming a spectacular view that merits close inspection in person. As close
to perfect as an Obsolete Note proof can get. That preservation and its greatest rarity make it one the great highlights from the Pease collection. He cer-
tainly treasured the pride of ownership of this trophy and the next curator will also. Six POCs.

20373 Savannah, GA - Central Rail Road & Banking Company of Georgia $5 18__ G42aP Proof PMG Uncirculated 62, 4 POCs.

An electrifying firebrick red tinted proof engraved and printed by the National Bank Note Company. The stunning color is complemented by its black
printing including the top center train vignette that was also used on the Confederate $100 Type 3 Montgomery note. Extremely rare and one of two
known proofs we are aware of. The other example we honored to sell as part of the Allan Dorris collection in January 2015. That proof was from a dif-
ferent original sheet than this example, but also had some minor edge problems which may have been caused by acidity in the deep red inking. A superb
piece that was purchased privately in 2012. Deep color and PMG notes some minor edge damage seen at the top center only. This proof is superior to
the Dorris Collection example which realized $5,875. Color proofs from the National Bank Note Company have always been considered the elite styles.
Chuck avidly obtained as many types as he could find recognizing that superiority and justly believing they were undervalued compared to many black
and white and ABNCo. proofs from the period.

When this crossed the auction block at our January 2015 offering of the core collection Georgia notes formed by Alan Dorris for multiple decades, the
competition was fierce to obtain this spectacular late series National Bank Note Company production. That evening it went from one great cabinet to
another great cabinet which is the resume such treasures often undergo. This is a special example and has it all. The Haxby Plate Note. Spectacular cen-
tral vignette of The Apotheosis of Washington. The full orange red tint, full of Durand Patented micro-devices, is as bright as the day this note left the
press, the margins are nearly perfect. This particular tint was also used on United States 3 Year Interest Bearing Notes printed by the NBN. PCGS notes
a couple of trivial edge nicks and some minor age spotting. There are 6 POC as manufactured and this India paper proof is on its original cardstock. An
impressive rarity, considered unique, and an important opportunity to obtain one of the greatest notes from Georgia. Notice the blue printed serial num-
ber “1926;” rarely used on a proof but illustrative to the client. There was only one like it on the sheet sold in the ABNCo. sale.

century England, and a vignette of a man on horseback. Aside from a
couple of well circulated examples, we are unaware of any public auction

20379 Savannah, GA- Marine Bank of Georgia $10 18__ G8 Proof
PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.

A very instructional black and white Proof due to the vignette and por-
trait. This example is mounted with six small POCs through the paper,
but not the cardstock. Pencilled on the back is, “Sgts. Jasper and Newton
Freeing the Captives.” Durand describes this historical vignette as being
the rarest version of this rescue found on Obsoletes. Also, pencilled on
the back is, “Pulaski.” Casimir Pulaski was a Polish nobleman who came
to America to fight in the American Revolution. He was mortally wound-
ed by grapeshot during a cavalry charge against British forces at the Battle
of Savannah in October, 1779. There were only two examples of this Proof
in the September, 1990 ABNCo archives auction. Also, this particular
piece was once part of the Chet Krause Collection.

20382 Idaho City/Boise City, Idaho Territory- B.M. DuRell & Co./
First National Bank of Idaho $50 186_ (Apr. 8, 1920) Remainder PMG
Very Fine 30.

An excessively rare Idaho Territorial note issued by B.M. DuRell & Co.
of Idaho City which is actually both a scrip issue and a transition piece to
the issuance of National Bank Notes in Idaho. Benjamin M. DuRell came
west to California around 1849, then went north to St. Helens, Oregon
in 1853, where he built a flour and sawmill. When that was destroyed
by fire, he moved to Salem, where he built a large packing plant and a
second sawmill. A disastrous flood during the winter of 1861-62 again
put him out of business, and he headed for the Idaho gold fields. On his
way to Idaho in 1862, he met Christopher Moore and the two began haul-
ing goods to the mines in Auburn, Oregon. In the spring of 1863, they
brought supplies to Boise, selling some from their wagons and hauling
the rest to the Snake River for sale to miners. The partners opened several
stores, including B.M. DuRell & Co. in Boise and Idaho City. The stores
offered banking services as well as merchandise, and this financial activ-
ity led DuRell and Moore to join with three other investors (including
Territorial Governor David Ballard) to organize the First National Bank
of Idaho in 1866. The bank was granted a charter on March 11, 1867 and
opened for business in the rear of DuRell’s Boise store on June 6, 1867. A
branch was soon opened in the Idaho City store as well. DuRell sold his
interest in the bank in 1872, and moved to Utah, where he organized the
Salt Lake City NB of Utah. The PMG back label states both date added
and annotations. The added date of “April 8th 1920” is in black ink at
upper right. The annotations are the words “non-negotiable” penned in
red ink to the immediate right of the Lincoln portrait and also at lower
right above the signature line. This is only the third $50 from this issue
that we have offered and the first of this denomination since January,
2009.

20384 Unknown Location, ID - James H. Kyner 10¢ Very Fine.

There is a lot of history behind this note, but much remains unknown,
including the exact location of Mr. Kyner’s store. Kyner is an almost
legendary figure who led a full life and then some. Born in Ohio in 1846,
he enlisted in the Union Army at 15 and was promptly invalided out of
the Army after losing a leg in his first engagement, the bloody battle of
Shiloh. Undaunted by this setback, he moved to Nebraska and, as a pro-
railroad spokesman, was elected to the Legislature. Leaving his seat, he
became a contractor for the Union Pacific, then moved to Idaho, where he
worked supplying 130 teams of horses and 150 men building the Oregon
Short Line Railroad from Granger, Wyoming to the Idaho-Oregon bor-
der. Almost all of the construction in 1882, which is when Kyner was
on the books of the railroad as a contractor, took place in Idaho, as the
railroad, following the Oregon Trail, reached Montpelier, Idaho in June
of 1882, Shoshone by March of 1883, and the Idaho-Oregon border by
1884. Kyner lost his modest fortune during the Panic of 1893, but made it
all back and more within the next decade. Kyner retired to Bladensburg,
Maryland, purchasing the historic Bostwick House, built around 1745,
in 1904. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975,
Kyner’s granddaughter sold the house to the Town of Bladensburg in
1997. Kyner lived well into his nineties, and penned a fascinating memoir
called End of Track in 1937.

This note is the only currency item we have ever seen or encountered
from Mr. Kyner. It is signed by him as “Contractor,” and bears a green
inked portrait of a rather dapper Kyner which covers most of the reverse.
Any estimate here is simply a guess, as is the true location of Mr. Kyner’s
store (which may well have moved as the railroad construction pro-
gressed), but this is still a great western Obsolete which could well be
unique. A few rust spots are present, but the note is otherwise lovely.

20385 Cairo, IL- Planters Bank $2 18__ G4 Proof PMG Choice About
Unc 58 EPQ.

The Planters Bank was organized as a Free Bank and had circulating
notes printed but apparently never got beyond that point. As a result, only
proofs are available from this bank. The bank and its issues were not rep-
resented in the landmark 1990 ABNCo Archives sale, suggesting that a
very limited number of surviving notes exist. It appears that there are two
examples of the $2, with the second being listed and illustrated in Haxby.
The only public appearances of this design were made by two proprietary
proofs with rather shocking pink tints. This note, with four small POCs
in the signature lines is mounted on an unusual, slightly undersize, card
which is probably new. A die proof of the main vignette is also included.

20389 Chester, IL- Bank of Chester $1 18 _ as G2a Proof PMG Choice
Uncirculated 63.

The Bank of Chester was organized under Illinois Free Banking laws in
1856 and failed, with 89 other Ilinois Free Banks, in 1861 as a collapse in
southern state bond prices at the start of the Civil War proved to be too
much to overcome. The note, printed by Danforth, Wright & Co. features
the state auditor’s die, a very large and intricate round die with ONE
on it, an oval portrait of Liberty and a large red 1 protector. It is printed
on Indian paper mounted on cardstock and was probably attached to a
Danforth, Wright archive book card at one time. The note has the usual
POCs in the signature lines. PMG has located a solitary pin or tack hole
in the upper right corner in the frameline. This note was part of a $1-$2-
$3-$5 uncut sheet that was Lot 346 in the 1990 ABNCo. Archives sale and
matches the description given there perfectly. It later surfaced in 2006
and was purchased in a private transaction by our consignor. We are
aware of no other public appearances in the last decade and believe that
this note may well be unique.

a large red 2 protector. The note is printed on India paper and mounted
on cardstock with the usual POCs in the signature lines. The original
source for this note and the $3 which also appears in this auction was a

A very colorful American Bank Note Co. imprint proof on India paper
from one of Illinois’ many rare titles. The layout is lovely with a rural

maintains a pleasing face with strong color. This realized a hefty $11,750

is still quite a desirable proof and there are few notes of any kind known
from the bank.

The bank was intended to operate under Illinois’ Free Banking laws and
had circulating notes printed but never opened for business, with all
notes allegedly destroyed. Aside from one remainder (possibly retained
for archive purposes by the State Auditor or liberated at the last moment),
proofs are all that is available for collectors seeking notes from this bank.
While Illinois Free Banks were nearly universally financial failures, their
notes are known for wonderful design. Printed by ABNCo, this striking
red and black note features vignettes of a family with a young colt as well
as a milkmaid with her charges. The state auditor’s die completes the
design. This is the Haxby plate note and may well be the only surviving
proof example of this denomination as the bank was not represented in
the 1990 ABNCo Archives sale. PMG notes several small tears that have
been repaired with benign materials on the back. In addition, the note
has the usual small POCs in the signature lines.

The Illinois Central Bank opened as a Free Bank in 1859 and failed along

note features a vignette at center that was engraved by Alfred Jones and
titled Black and White Beauties. The state auditor die appears at left and
there are two green 2 protectors. The bank title and end panels are also
printed in green. It is printed on India paper with the usual small POCs
in the signature lines. Neither this bank nor this note was represented in
the ABNCo Archives holdings and we believe that it is excessively rare.
We have only seen a small handful of issued notes appear in recent public
auctions. Minor repairs are mentioned.

20395 Pittsfield, IL- Pittsfield Bank $2 18__ G4 Proof PMG Choice
Uncirculated 63.

Located in west central Illinois, the Pittsfield Bank was a Free Bank oper-
ating under the state’s free banking legislation. Bonds were deposited
with the State Treasurer, with the State Auditor providing oversight of
Free Bank operations. The bank opened in 1858 and failed in 1862. This
note features vignettes of a farm girl and three men unsuccessfully try-
ing to bridle a spirited horse. In addition the required Auditor's die also
appears. Lot 365 in the 1990 ABNCo. Archives sale contained a $1-$2-$5-
$5 uncut sheet. In addition, Haxby was aware of, and listed, a $2 proof.
The telltale side mounting hinges on the back of this note suggest a much
earlier provenance possibility of D.C. Wismer in the 1930s. In any case,
with two examples presently known to us, this rarity should attract the
requisite amount of bidding attention. As mentioned, PMG has indicated
that the note was previously mounted.

This Free Bank was organized in 1856 and was one of ninety Illinois Free
Banks to fail in 1861 as financial markets slashed the value of underly-
ing state bonds used to secure their circulation. The bank’s imposing
name lent no support to its efforts to remain in business. In addition
to a red overall tint and red and white design elements and large ONE
protector, the note also bears an oval portrait of Washington, a large
allegorical vignette of perhaps America standing by a column with a rib-
bon inscribed UNION, and the required State Auditor's die at right. This
example was the subject of a private sale in 2005 and has not had any pub-

The Bank of Sparta was organized in 1861 and actually survived until
1865, a rarity amongst the state’s Free Banks. While National Bank Note
Company was a late entrant into the state bank note business, its work
was superlative. This bright red and black $1 bears a large allegorical
vignette of Liberty at left, the obligatory State Auditor’s die at right and
the same eagle vignette that was used on the familiar $10 note on the New
Orleans Canal & Banking Company. PMG notes the usual POCs in the
signature lines and evidence of previous mounting on the back (stamp
hinges). No examples of this lovely note design were included in the
1990 ABNCo sale. Its provenance includes a 2015 public auction appear-
ance, time in the Schingoethe collection, and earlier stays in the Julian

out delightful designs and this note is no exception with extravagant red
tints and design elements complementing detailed vignettes such as The
Mill Door at center. The obligatory State Auditor's die appears at right.
Mounted on lightweight cardstock with the usual POCs in the signature

The Toulon Bank opened as a Free Bank in late 1860 and barely survived
into the following year before failing. 1861 was a bad year for Illinois Free
Banks, with 90 failing due to the financial fallout from the start of the

features a center vignette of a livestock drive entitled The Drove as well
as the auditor’s die. A detailed red security tint covers the bottom half
of the note. This note is printed on India paper mounted on the original
cardstock with the usual POCs in the signature lines. This example came
out of one of the Schingoethe sales in 2006. Haxby also lists and illus-
trates this design in proof form, with the plate note not appearing to have

Danforth Wright & Co.’s spectacular passenger train vignette that had
several variants and was widely used. A large lathework panel was added
for additional security This bank was represented by a single four subject

20402 Indianapolis, IN- Farmers and Mechanics Bank $5 Sep. 1, 1855
UNL Wolka 0910-09 Proof PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.

The Farmers and Mechanics Bank was a Free Bank, located in
Indianapolis, that opened in 1854 and quickly legally altered its plates
so that a second bank location in Rensselaer could be established. In
January, 1855, one of the bank’s officers embezzled most of the bank’s
funds and fled Indianapolis. While this act did not immediately topple
the bank, the impact was severe. A new series of replacement notes was
commissioned (but never printed.) It is likely that this was done so that
the first series could be readily identified as “stolen” and repudiated.
Ultimately the impact was so great that the bank failed. The designs of
the 1855 dated replacement series were different from those used on the
1854 notes. This $5 has a very well done vignette of a mechanic at left, the
Auditor’s die at top center, and a vignette of a bull’s head at right. This
note was originally part of a four subject $1-$2-$5-$5 sheet that was lot
416 in the 1990 ABNCo Archives sale. The two $5s were different designs.
We believe that this $5 proof is unique at present and very likely to
remain so. The note has the usual small POCs in the signature lines and
is mounted on the original Danforth, Wright & Co. archive book card.

The Merchants Bank was one of the earlier Free Banks to be organized
in the state, opening in late 1852. The bank, like many others in the state,
failed in 1855. that summer, the Auditor of State published notice that
note holders should return notes to his office by July 15 for cancella-
tion. Once the total of returned circulation had been determined and the
bank’s securities sold, the notes were redeemed at 90¢ on the dollar. All
proceeds were eventually exhausted making further redemptions impos-
sible. This proof has a large vignette of a public building that some have
assumed was the Tippecanoe County Courthouse. It is not and remains
unidentified. Two Native American warriors and the Auditor’s die com-
plete the design. Formerly part of Lot 424 in the 1990 ABNCo Archives

This municipal note, payable at a local insurance company, was payable
in State Bank of Indiana notes which were nearly the equivalent of spe-
cie thanks to that bank’s conservative approach to banking. Typical of
UBS&H / DU designs, this $1 incorporates a number of medallion heads
whose almost topographical 3-D character made successful counterfeit-
ing very difficult. The center vignette is an early example of the “Native
American viewing “Civilization” genre that was popular during the
antebellum period. There was one example of this denomination that
was part of lot 443 in the 1990 ABNCo Archives sale (this note) and we
are also aware of one example that was ensconced in the Western Reserve
Historical Society (ca. 1996). Suffice it to say, the number of survivors is
extremely small, likely just two.

PMG Choice Uncirculated 64.

The Miami Bank was envisioned as a Free Bank but was never completely
organized. Fortunately for collectors, notes were designed by Danforth,
Wright & Co. and proofs were prepared. The designs are absolutely stun-
ning with gigantic engraved protectors such as the lazy 2 that occupies
virtually the entire width of the note and vignettes alluding to the area's
Native American heritage (Miami county was named after the Miami
Indians who had traditionally lived in the area, with relocations occur-
ring a scant eight years before this note is datelined.) This note was part
of Lot 448 in the 1990 ABNCo Archives sale which comprised a single
$1-$2-$5-$5 sheet. Haxby and other earlier researchers were aware of
these proofs although one can not be certain if the knowledge was based
on physical inspection of notes or contemporary documentary evidence.
Based upon a close inspection of the plate note illustration in the 2018
Indiana state catalog, your cataloger can confidently say that there are
two examples of this design extant. This example, not surprisingly, has
the usual small POCs in all of the signature lines.

A great piece of Iowa scrip which is unlisted in the new Oakes reference
and the sole example we have ever seen or heard of from this Iowa loca-
tion. It is a perfect Fractional lookalike from this merchant, whose store
was located in Creston. Fortunately for collectors, it is a problem-free
example with no adverse comments listed on the PMG holder. If rarity
and desirability are any guide here, expect bidding to easily reach and
perhaps well exceed...

20407 Davenport, IA- Beiderbecke & Miller 5¢ Oakes UNL PCGS
Apparent Fine 15.

A great piece of Iowa scrip from an issuer which is unlisted in the Oakes
reference. Charles T. Biederbecke was a German immigrant who migrat-
ed to Davenport in 1856 and formed a partnership with another German
immigrant, Frank W. Miller. The partners established a wholesale gro-
cery business named Beiderbecke & Miller Wholesale Grocers which
thrived in the growing Davenport economy during and after the Civil
War. Both built mansions in Davenport which still exist, the FW. Miller
house, which later became the residence and headquarters for the diocese
of Davenport, and the Biederbecke house, which now operates as a bed
and breakfast. Biederbecke later served as President of the Iowa National
Bank of Davenport, which he helped organize in 1890. Biederbecke’s
grandson, Bix Biederbecke, became well known as one of America’s pre-
mier jazz musicians. There are a few some minor splits and repairs, but
this is a certainly rare and likely unique item of great historical interest.

20409 Dubuque, IA (Terr.)- Miners Bank of Dubuque at Mechanics’
& Traders’ Bank, Cincinnati $10 18__ Remainder PMG Very Fine 30.
Banks often tried to use remote redemption partners as a way of slowing
down redemptions. That appears to be the case here, as the Mechanics’
& Traders’ Bank of Cincinnati was some 500 miles away from Dubuque.
The Iowa Territory existed from 1838-1846 and the Mechanics’ & Traders
Bank was in business (before becoming a branch of the State Bank of
Ohio) from 1838-1844, narrowing down the probable issue timeframe to
about six years. This is a handsome note without problems, printed on
bright paper with full margins. Perfect for lowa and Ohio collections that
would benefit from having this historic tie note.

KANSAS

20412 Levenworth (sic), KS- Scott, Kerr & Co. $1 June 1, 1862
Whitfield 322 PMG Very Good 10.

Scott, Kerr & Co. was formed in 1858 when Lyman Scott, Sr. bought
out the interests of the principals of a previous firm, the Isett-Brewster
Bank and organized a new bank, the Bank of Scott, Kerr & Co., with
John Kerr who had also been associated with the former bank. In 1862,
the firm shortened its name to Scott, Kerr & Co. and issued a new series
of notes. This note is from the first printing of that issue, with the town
name spelled incorrectly as Levenworth. The note, which has a portrait
of General Winfield Scott as well as a vignette entitled Men at Mill, is
signed by John Kerr as cashier and Lucien Scott, Lyman Scott, Sr.’s son, as
president. It appears that Scott’s signature is engraved while Kerr’s is pen
signed. PMG notes a tear that has been sealed in the upper right corner
just to the right of the counter. This note is seldom encountered and is
quite rare.

20415 Frankfort, KY- Farmers Bank of Kentucky- Two Documentary
& Numismatic History Volumes

Put together by the family of one of the principals of the Farmers Bank
of Kentucky at Frankfort, these two large ledger-like scrapbooks tell
the story of the bank and its bank notes. The books contain approxi-
mately 15 die proofs of vignettes selected for use on the bank’s notes, 43
genuine and counterfeit issues (with a number of genuine / counterfeit
comparison pairs), nine proofs (including a $50 and $100 proof), two 2
subject proof sheets, two 3 subject proof sheets, and twenty notes from
other banks that use vignettes also appearing on the bank’s notes (includ-
ing one proof). Also included is miscellaneous ephemera like covers, wax
seals, photographs, and old letter transcriptions. Additionally, a large
group of checks and drafts (around 50) and letters from the 1850s to the
1880s (around 45). Please note that these checks, drafts, and letters have
mostly been laminated to preserve them. These two books represent a lot
of effort that has been expended to put together some of the numismatic
history of the Farmers Bank of Kentucky. It is hoped that they will be held
intact as a true historical resource. A careful inspection of these books is
recommended as there will be no returns on this lot for any reason. (Total:
2 books)

The Bank of Kentucky opened in 1834 and continued in business until
early 1866 when all thirteen branches except the one in Frankfort (which
became the Kentucky National Bank in 1871) were closed. This note
has framed portraits of Washington and Lafayette that flank a central
vignette of an allegorical maiden (perhaps representing Agriculture)
seated by a framed rendition of the Kentucky state seal. The note is
mounted on card which has a ghost image of a $50 note on the Bank of
Hawkinsville (presumably Georgia). The usual POCs are present in the
signature spaces. We are aware of two examples of this design at present.

An excessively rare and perhaps unique bi-state note. It is issued from
New Orleans and clearly signed by J. Mills but it is payable in Confederate
Notes in Sherman, Texas by a gentleman that Medlar lists as M.W. Joprin.
This is the Medlar plate note, and, having seen or heard of no others, it
could well be the only example extant by this issuer. It’s certain to be a
hotly contested item for both Texas and Louisiana collectors. PMG notes
minor repairs but these are not visible through the holder.

20428 Parish of Concordia, LA (Orleans Territory)- John Grafton
Cotton Receipt Mar. 2, 1810 PMG About Uncirculated 50.

The area comprising the state of Louisiana was known as the Orleans
Territory from 1804 to 1812. With the invention of the Cotton Gin in
1793, early entrepreneurs like John Grafton created a business of “gin-
ning” cotton (separating the seeds from the cotton fibers) for others. This
historical certificate gives some insights into the cost (10% of the cotton
extracted) and dangers (“danger of fire excepted”) of the business in
these early days. The certificate is almost colonial-like in some respects
with indented left and (to a lesser extent) right edges. John Grafton was a
very early settler. PMG mentions that the certificate has been previously
mounted. There appear of remnants of a red way seal and another paper
in the upper left corner. While value is difficult to assess, rarity is more
certain.

reads, “Receivable in postage dues / Aug. Maraist, P.M.” There is a tape
repair at right center on the back. There is also a little rust at top center
from being pinned. That action may have saved this rare note.

Kelly plate note adding to its desirability. The full vermillion-red tint is
a wonder of micro-printing technique using the Cyrus Durand patents.

20432 Annapolis, MD- Farmers Bank of Maryland $100 18__

The Farmers Bank of Maryland was a long-lived successful institution
with three branches that opened in 1805. In 1865, all of the branches
became national banks except for the Elkton branch which closed its
doors. This $100 has razor sharp portraits of Franklin and Washington
as well as a center vignette depicting three men pausing to “solve all of the
world’s problems.” This design was not present in the ABNCo Archives
sale in 1990. We are aware of a single public auction appearance when
we sold this exact note in our 2004 CSNS Signature Auction. The note
pictured in the Maryland state catalogue is similar to, but not exactly the
same as, this example (minor changes in text and location of some infor-
mation). It is inconclusive whether this is the Haxby plate note, but in any
case we appear to have only one or two examples surviving. The usual
small POCs appear in the signature lines in this note that is on card.

already on the gunwale; their ship is in the far distance. Hay’s The White Bear vignette, though not specifically historic, is relevant to the period of issue.

20443 Boston, MA - Hide & Leather Bank $1000 18 __ G20a SENC Proof PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.

A spectacular $1000 proof from the elite Danforth, Wright & Co. imprint. Unique, the only example from the 1990 ABNCo. sale (color plated in the cata-
log) where it resided on an impressive $100-$100-$500-$1000 array. Purchased at the 1990 Christie’s bonanza by the Schingoethes for $4,400 and later
resold in their second numbered sale where it fetched $18,400. It was the back cover of that catalog. This bold impression is the capstone to a superbly
crafted series of Boston notes with an occupational title. Geometric features dominate this note with an unusual deep red circular frame of overlapping
dies in the center. Allegorical vignettes are at each end. This is the first time this stupendous Boston rarity crosses the block individually and it is key
Massachusetts proof from the entire Pease Collection. Another extremely important opportunity to obtain the finest quality in an irreplaceable package.
Flirting with or exceeding five-figures would be quite logical for such a Gem. Six POCs.

20444 Boston, MA- Howard Banking Co. Contemporary Counterfeit
$5 Aug. 23, 1858 C8a PMG Choice Fine 15 Net.

Vignette on this $5 is of Santa Claus leaving a rooftop with the help of
his reindeer pulled sleigh. A teller at the Suffolk Bank spotted this con-
temporary counterfeit and then had the note branded as such. This is
the ink burn from the counterfeit stamp that is mentioned on the third
party label. This is always a popular design whether it is on a genuine or
counterfeit note. Included with this lot is a die proof card with this roof-
top Santa Claus view. The card is approximately five by three inches with
light foxing and handwritten pencil on the back. (Total: 2 items)

20445 Boston, MA- Massachusetts Bank $1000 ND G446 Proof PMG
Choice Uncirculated 63.

One of the nation’s first banks in the post-colonial era, the Massachusetts
Bank opened in 1784 and remained in business until 1865 when it became
the Massachusetts National Bank of Boston. Reflecting its period of use
in the dawning days of the 19th century, this note’s design is quite simple,
with the only significant ornamentation being a representation of the
state’s coat of arms at center. Neither the bank nor this note was repre-
sented in the 1990 ABNCo Archives sale and public auction appearances
have been few and far between. This note was sold as part of the Abner
Reed Collection in 1983 and spent time in the Schingoethe Collection
until 2005 when our consignor acquired it. We also auctioned a second
example (probably the Haxby plate note) in 2003. These two examples
may well be it in terms of extant proof notes of this design from the bank.
PMG mentions a very faint damp stain in the lower left corner, hidden in
the end panel design.

Another Boston bank that survived the Obsolete era and became a
national bank only to liquidate around the year 1900135206. This note
is unlisted in Haxby, as it has a red undertint instead of green as stated
for G2a. Portrait at center is of Paul Revere based on an 1813 painting by
Gilbert Stuart when Revere was 78 years old. This is the first time that we

A wonderful high denomination from this iconic title. It was a the cap-

illustrated in Whitman, though having a hefty $17,500 catalog value.
India paper on new card. Beautifully engraved by the ABNCo. with
vermillion color features. Paul Revere is at the lower right and commer-
cial goods at the center. Quite striking, PMG does note a tear which of
course on such a rarity does not affect its value. Our consignor apparently
bought this directly from that CSNS show sale, at $8,050, making it one
of his earlier auction purchases. He built around this star Boston proof
over the years, but in the interim another example like it has not been

We sold two pieces from this extremely rare Sutler’s issue back in 2014, a
3¢ and a 25¢, both of which fetched over $3,000, along with an impaired
25¢ specimen four years ago which realized $1,610. The 3¢ example was
printed on green stock, the 25¢ on orange stock. This 25¢ has a couple
of small paper pulls on the front, but its overall appearance is still quite
attractive, with no real trace of circulation. This regiment was raised at
the beginning of the Civil War and known as the Boston Light Infantry
(Tigers), with the slogan “Always Ready,” which can be found on the back
of this high grade example.

20453 Brighton, MA- Bank of Brighton $500 G70P Proof PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.

As a general rule, high denomination proofs ($500 and above) are rare because few banks issued them or had plates prepared to print them. This bank
was, happily, an exception and had a $500 plate prepared and proofs pulled. The design prepared by Danforth, Wright & Co. included a majestic alle-
gorical representation of Liberty standing proudly draped in the Stars and Stripes, holding a Liberty pole and cap, standing by a federal shield with 500
on it, a rendition of the Arms of Massachusetts surrounded by horses. The street scene just to the left is actually from the left end of the vignette on the
right that depicts the Cattle Fair Hotel which was built in 1832 and extensively remodeled in 1852 (as shown). As the name suggests, the stockyards were
located behind the hotel (one imagines that that decision would have been revisited more than once). The hotel was demolished in the 1890s to make way
for commercial development. The note is printed on India paper, mounted on cardstock that appears to be mounted to a Danforth Wright & Co. archive
book card. This example was not part of the ABNCo Archives holdings that were dispersed in 1990 nor have there been any public auction appearances
in at least the last decade. At present we are aware of two examples of this note; one with an overall red tint and this note without any tint. We do not
envision that count changing much any time soon.

Bunker Hill Monument

20454 Charlestown, MA- Bunker Hill Bank $1 18 _—| G8a Proof PMG Choice Uncirculated 63.

A long-lived institution, this bank was in business from 1825 until it became the Bunker Hill National Bank of Charlestown (Ch. 635) in 1864. This
note has an interesting design with the bank name repeated in bold red letters in two panels along the top margin. The design also incorporates a
vignette of Liberty standing, the famous Bunker Hill Monument (actually located on Breed’s Hill where most of fighting took place), and a vignette
of Washington at Dorchester Heights. This example was once part of the Peter Mayer collection and later appeared in a public auction in 2015
when it was acquired by our consignor. We are unaware of any other public appearances by this proof design in the last decade, attesting to the rar-
ity of this issue. The usual POCs appear in the signature lines.

20455 Concord, MA- Concord Bank $500 18 __ UNL Proof PMG
Uncirculated 61.

The Concord Bank was yet another long-lived Boston bank which oper-
ated from 1832 until it became the Concord National Bank (ch. 833) in
1865. If you are looking for a special Perkins Plate note, this is it. Haxby
does not list a $500 denomination from this bank and this note has great
vignettes of Moneta and the Massachusetts coat of arms. The presence
of the ABNCo monogram indicates that the plate for this denomination
was in use well after its original introduction. It is printed on India paper
with the usual POCs in the signature lines. This note was originally part
of a New England Bank Note Co. archive book which has since been
separated. We are aware of a single public auction appearance in 2005
and suspect that this note may very well be unique. PMG indicates that
the note is repaired although the nature and location of that repair is not
readily apparent through the holder.

and $100 are a part of this auction session. PMG lists on the third party
label that this note is unlisted in Haxby, but it appears to match G50. This
Proof is mounted on cardstock with six POCs. This piece is worthy of the

The Village bank opened in 1836 and became the First National Bank of
Danvers (Ch. 594) in 1864. The simple, yet attractive design include an
oval portrait of a young woman and a half length vignette of two work-
ers pausing to “solve all of the world’s problems.” A striking brick red
denominational medallion and protector block complete the design. It
was printed on India paper, mounted on cardstock and then apparently
mounted on a Danforth, Wright & Co. archive book card. While Haxby
lists this design, it is with the later ABNCo imprint rather than Danforth
Wright & Co. This note appeared as part of Lot 709 in the 1990 ABNCo
Archives sale and is likely unique. There are a number of the usual small
POCs in the signature lines.

The bank opened in 1831 and continued in business until becoming the
National Bank of Fairhaven (Ch. 490) in 1864. This is a busy note with
vignettes of a farm family with a spirited horse, cattle resting under a
tree, a farm wife feeding the chickens, and, last but not least, an oval por-
trait of Washington in profile. A secondary green plate provided two cor-
ner counters and a panel covering the signature lines. The note is printed
on India paper and has the usual small POCs in the signature lines. PMG
notes that the example has been previously mounted but the evidence is
very difficult to locate through the holder. We are aware of two surviving
proof examples of this design.

The Rollstone Bank opened in 1849 and remained in business until suc-

This $100 was apparently an unadopted design and features a portrait of
Alvah Crocker, a prominent local citizen, who served for a time as presi-
dent of the bank. He is flanked by vignettes of History Instructing Youth
and Liberty seated as well as red-orange counters and tint block. The note
is printed on India paper with the usual POCs in the signature spaces.
We are aware of only one public auction appearance since 2002 when
our opinion was that this note was unique. Nothing has occurred in the
last eighteen years to change that assessment. This note was the Haxby
plate note and shows some evidence of previous mounting as well as some
some tape repairs on the back.

a red FIVE protector. This lovely note is printed on India paper mounted

red and gray tints, this note has an unidentified male portrait (probably
of someone associated with the bank) and a larger than usual vignette of
Fidelity with the often used representation of a dog lying by a strong box
with a key under its paw. This note is the Haxby plate note with the POC
pattern precisely matching that found on this note. In addition, two hinge
remnants on the back left and right margins offer a strong suggestion that
the provenance on this note possibly stretches as far back as D.C. Wismer
in the 1930s. We are aware of one other example which appeared in public

20464 Lowell, MA- Railroad Bank $500 18__ as G80 Proof PMG
About Uncirculated 55.

If you cannot get excited about this note then you should consider col-
lecting something else. The Railroad Bank opened in 1831 and remained
in business until it became the Railroad National Bank of Lowell (Ch.
753) in 1865. The note has what is undoubtedly a custom vignette of
the Merimack Street Depot and environs in Lowell. The oval portrait
is equally custom, undoubtedly portraying one of the bank’s officers,
directors, or a local notable associated with the bank. A rendition of the
Massachusetts coat of arms appears at lower right. A red D protector
flanked by red and white 500 protectors in the signature spaces completes
the design. The note is printed on India paper mounted to cardstock with
the usual small POCs in the signature spaces. Regrettably, PMG notes a
large tear that goes from the bottom edge through the rightmost POC
and up into black block of micro lettering. Sixteen years ago, this note was
adjudged to likely be unique and nothing has changed in the meantime to
alter that belief. This note is still legitimately the highlight of almost any
collection fortunate enough to include it.

A single example of this denomination appeared as part of Lot 733 in the
1990 ABNCo Archives sale. Haxby lists a proof but the wording of the
description indicates that he had not seen a physical note and was proba-
bly working from a documentary description. The note is quite attractive
with an unusual, seldom seen, center vignette of three women listening to
a fourth lady reading from a large book. Both ends are anchored by a pair
of medallion heads in an oval frame and a large round denominational
counter. The medallion heads were, by the way, particularly vexing for
counterfeiters to copy as they did not have the equipment required to do
the three-dimensional effect portraits. This effect was achieved by vary-
ing the distance between each engraved line much like a topographical
map. The note is completed by an attractive color tint. The note is printed
on snow white India paper and has the usual small POCs in the signature
lines. We are not aware of any public auction appearances in the last
decade aside from a similar printer’s experimental piece. In all likelihood
this is indeed unique and likely to stay that way.

Exceedingly Rare Pittsfield Bank “XX” Baldwin Type III
Santa Proof, Finest Seen - Ex: Durand Collection

20467 Pittsfield, MA- Pittsfield Bank $20 June 1, 1853 G20a Proof PCGS Choice New 63PPQ.

This exceptionally attractive Pittsfield Bank $20 is the rarest type among the Baldwin engraved Durand Vignette Type III Santa Claus notes. That Santa
appears on the most different banks, all rare of course, and nearly all known as proofs. However, among the bank’s variants (most fully tinted) of this
denomination, this example is the exceedingly rare type with a Baldwin, Adams & Co. imprint and a red XX overprint only. Hailing from the Roger H.
Durand Collection originally, plated in his book, this is a beautifully printed Proof on India paper, mounted upon its original card. The Baldwin Santa
stands out at the top center with his very jovial facial expression and herd of deer drawing his sleigh across the rooftop. The portrait at lower right is that
of Lemuel Pomeroy (1778-1849). Pomeroy was a very skilled blacksmith who produced a wide variety of products and was very involved in the town’s
affairs. In operation from 1853-65 as this banking entity, it became the Pittsfield National Bank, charter number 1260. Exceedingly rare and at worst,
one of only three we have researched. The Whitman plate note may be this example making only two known. It is clearly the finest though and appears
to be the reported example in Haxby, though not illustrated. There was only one example on the sheet in the 1990 ABNCo. sale, bought by John Ford,
and sold in the Ford Part VI sale. Roger was a key buyer from that Santa section, but he did not need this type - he already had this lovely example.
Graded PCGS Choice New 63PPQ, mounted on cardstock and displaying four small POCs as made. Unstamped on the back of the card, it was clearly
discovered prior to the 1990 sale in our opinion. This Pittsfield “XX” is vastly undervalued in comparison with other known Baldwin Type III Santa
proofs from the ABNCo. sale. This was an astute purchase from our Durand offering at 2012 FUN where it realized $7,187.50. It will be a perfect fit into
its next Obsolete note collection or Santa type set. It is a beautiful proof that complements the other Santa Claus notes from this featured set well with its
high rarity and quality.

The Merchants Bank was formed in 1811 and remained in business until

The Salem Bank opened in 1803 and continued in business until it
became the Salem National Bank (Ch. 704) in 1864.This note is a fabu-

At present we are aware of two examples. One adorns the cover of Volume

20472 Taunton, MA - Taunton Bank $500 18__ G130aP SENC Proof PMG About Uncirculated 50.

Another absolute prince among all the royal National Bank Note Company imprint color proofs offered in this 2020 FUN Auction. All proofs from this
imprint are distinguished by meticulous craftsmanship and we also noted in the Newman Part VI sale catalog by their gorgeous color tints. Over the
past two decades, these National Bank Note Company engraved rarities have gathered more and more appreciation from astute collectors who recognize
their elite status among Obsolete proofs and notes. Chuck was among several of those collectors who considered these “the best of the best.” An excep-
tional Massachusetts proof. The layout is an inspiring example of a late Obsolete achieving a Federal currency look. At the upper left is a wide-spanned
bald eagle atop a rocky peak. This major vignette was also used concurrently on the Federal 1862-1863 $100 “Spread Eagle” Legal Tender notes, engraved
and printed for the United States by the same firm. At the bottom right is a male portrait. In opposing corners, lower left and upper right, are intricate
numeral “500” counters with micro-lettered overlapping “chips” created by Cyrus Durand patented devices. The note has a full green color frame, inte-
rior corner filigree and across the center, micro-lettered lathe work with titles and repeating patterns. Originally from the Eric Newman Collection.
This is the only example we have seen, a great discovery from there and tied for the second highest Obsolete Note price achieved at the Part VI sale at
$30,550. There are very few full color $500 Obsolete banknote proofs known to us from any imprint. The demand for beautiful National Bank Note
Company imprint proofs seems never to abate, with the highest denominations and notes of this echelon always creating great excitement. This India
paper proof, mounted to its original cardstock, is Hole Punch Cancelled as made and is now certified by PMG (it was certified by PCGS when sold in
Newman Part VI). Some small tears noted, but from heavy handling. It does not disturb its beauty. This extremely impressive color proof is unique to
our knowledge and intertwines the highest rarity and style into a prize winning package.

20473 Worcester, MA- City Bank of Worcester $5 18__ as G8 Proof PMG Gem
Uncirculated 66 EPQ.

The City Bank opened in 1854 and a decade later was succeeded by the City National
Bank of Worcester (Ch. 476). The note has a marvelous occupational vignette depict-
ing leather tanning and shoemaking activities surrounding a shield containing a bull
head. There are two red FIVE protectors over the signature lines which each have the
usual small POCs. The note is on card which is, in turn, mounted on a Danforth Wright
archive book card. This spectacular note is one of three examples that were part of the
ABNCo Archive holdings that were dispersed in 1990. We are aware of only a single
auction appearance since (in 2014) and are confident that there are probably few, if
any, additional extant proof survivors of this design beyond the three ABNCo Archives
examples.

20474 Aberdeen, MS- Aberdeen & Pontotoc Rail Road and Banking
Company $100 18__ G20 Kraus 10030p Proof PMG Uncirculated 62.
This design, issued between 1836 and 1840, is populated by vignettes
dedicated to the railroad business, with a particularly detailed center
vignette of an ornate passenger train preparing to leave the station. One
uncut sheet of four $100 notes on this issuer was found in the holdings of
the ABNCo Archives that were dispersed in 1990. Haxby was also aware
of this design in proof form. PMG notes an internal tear that is very dif-
ficult to identify and locate through the holder but may be over the word
“Road” in the bank title. In addition the usual POCs are noted. We have
not verified any public auction appearances in at least the last decade.

The bank was in operation from 1837 to 1840 when it failed. For the peri-

flanked by vignettes of Washington dressed in a toga and a large sailing
vessel. A small vignette of a dog is at bottom center. The note is printed

A rare proof with difficult-to-replicate cameo heads flanking a fan-
tastic center vignette of a Native American child paddling a small
canoe designed to look like a water bird. More conventional vignettes of
Commerce standing grace both ends. There have been two public auction
appearances by this design (including this offering) in the last decade. It
is believed that this example was the note that was part of Lot 820 of the
1990 ABNCo Archives sale because of the telltale mirror image of anoth-
er bank note on the back.

This proof is unlisted in any form and is listed in Kraus as R-7. Your

a single $10-$10-$20-$100 sheet that was in lot 831 of the 1990 ABNCo
Archives sale. We sold a second example in 2004 and again in 2005 that
is either the top note from the sheet or a third example (it is not mounted
on cardstock.) Either way, it is a great historic note with only two or three
survivors known.

Holmes owned a sawmill in Nemaha City that was in operation for about
a year from 1858-59. These notes are presumed to have been issued to
fund the start up of that venture. No issued notes are known. These notes
are very scarce and seldom seen, with fewer than six examples estimated
to exist. Since the notes theoretically paid 20% interest, one has to believe
that the vast majority were redeemed.

A fantastic Obsolete rarity, as neither the fabled Newman holdings nor
the John J. Ford offerings contained even one Nevada advertising note.
This piece is unlisted in the Vlack reference and is the only Nevada ad
note we have ever offered in any one of our sales. We know of only one
other ad note from Nevada, and that piece has not seen the light of day
for more than 30 years. Mr. Robins, who on the note claims to be the
“Only Live Man in Nevada,” operated the Great Cheap Cash Store in
Winnemucca with the motto “Cheap for Cash.” A couple of very trivial
small edge splits affect nothing on a note of this importance.

This note was issued during the second operating period of the Strafford
Bank which lasted from 1823-47. This Perkins Patent Steel Plate design
was quite popular in New England right into the 1840s. Despite its hum-
ble appearance, this is an excessively rare note, with one source suggest-
ing that it is unique. While that is not quite right, we can only come up
with two examples and no auction appearances in at least the last decade,
if ever. This problem-free, mid grade note should attract bidding atten-
tion from New Hampshire collectors.

20487 Sandwich, NH- Carroll County Bank $1 Jan. 1, 1855 as G4
Proof PMG Choice Uncirculated 63.

Ormsby is said to have always considered this note as the epitome of his
design philosophy of huge vignettes simply overpowering the ability of
counterfeiters to replicate them. In practice, however, most of Ormsby’s
work was much closer to the conventional approach of having separate
vignettes that appeared in the left, right, and central portions of a bank
note. This stunning vignette depicts Mercury and Prosperity flanking an
allegorical female with arched ONE protectors and a small male portrait
(seemingly almost an afterthought) completing the design. There are two
slightly irregular POCs, one in each signature space and several pinholes
in the corners.

20491 Addison, NY- Addison Bank $1 18 __ as G2 Proof PMG Gem
Uncirculated 66 EPQ.

This bank is unusual in that it opened in 1856 and waited until 1899 to
become a national bank. By 1865 or so, it probably stopped issuing notes
due to the 10% tax and carried on as a private bank. In 1899 the bank was
succeeded by the First National Bank of Addison (Ch. 5178). Printed by
Danforth, Wright & Co., this note features portraits of Shakespeare and
a young woman. The center is occupied by a large vignette of a bald eagle
perched on a federal shield and a large red ONE protector. The Bank
Department die is in the lower left corner. Two $1s of this variety were
part of Lot 1063 in the 1990 ABNCo Archives sale. The sheet, of which
they were part, was then part of the Schingoethe Collection until it, in
turn, was sold, with this sheet appearing in one of the Schingoethe dis-
persal sales in 2005. The sheet was subsequently cut with our consignor
obtaining this note in 2005 in a private sale. It is very likely that the four
notes from that sheet comprise the surviving $1 proofs from this bank.
The note is printed on India paper and mounted on cardstock with the
usual POCs in all three signature lines.

The bank was open for a short period of time between 1847 and 1851
before closing. The $1 design is interesting because it includes one of the
earliest uses of the “Female Riding Deer” vignette. The male portrait
is apparently that of the bank’s owner, as his portrait appears on every
denomination. This design was not present in the ABNCo Archives hold-
ings that were dispersed in 1990 but was known to Haxby. We sold this
example in 2007 as part of our FUN Currency Signature Auction and we
are unable to locate any other public appearances of this design in the last
decade except for one issued note. This note is printed on India paper and

all the way back to the institutional Western Reserve Historical Society
collection. The thousands of rarities contained were dispersed in two
days in the New York City art auction house tradition, but to the better-
ment of the collecting community. These rarities have now been enjoyed
for nearly a quarter century and this prize goes under the hammer for the
third time since 1996. India paper proof by Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Co.
using their usual classical styling. The quality is excellent and this is pos-

About Uncirculated 50.

The Atlantic Bank opened in 1836 and was succeeded by the Atlantic
National Bank of Brooklyn (Ch. 1491) in 1865. A classic RWH design, this
$500 has magnificent vignettes of Moneta with Mercury and Amphitrite
and Neptune riding in a seashell being pulled by hippocampi. Both are
signed in micro lettering by their designer Freeman Rawdon who was
also a principal in the bank note company. The note is printed on India
paper with the usual POCs in the signature lines. This note was not part
of the ABNCo Archives holdings and was known to Haxby although his
description indicates to your cataloger that he had not physically seen
an example. This note appeared as part of a $500-$1000 sheet in a 2004
public auction where it was acquired by our consignor. In that sale, the
note was described as “Excessively Rare, if not Unique” and nothing has
occurred in the intervening sixteen years to change that assessment.

20500 Buffalo, NY- Marine Bank $1 Aug. 15, 1850 as G2 Proof PMG
Superb Gem Unc 67 EPQ.

The Marine Bank opened in 1850 and remained in business until 1902
when it became the Marine National Bank of Buffalo (Ch. 6184). In keep-
ing with the bank’s name, this note has extraordinary naval vignettes.
Two of them are likely two different views of the same man-of-war; one
approaching head on and one from astern. The middle vignette depicts
a young sailor holding the Stars and Stripes on a wharf with ships in the
distance. The Comptroller's die is at upper left. This note is printed on
India paper mounted on cardstock with the usual POCs in the signature
lines. Two of these $1s were part of the ABNCo Archives holdings dis-
persed in 1990. The design has made only one public auction appearance
in the last decade (in 2011) of which we are aware, suggesting that these
two $1 proofs may be the only extant proof examples.

Banker $10 Feb. 22, 1861 as G12a PMG Choice Fine 15.

An epic Obsolete bank note from New York state, this stunning blue and
black $10 note makes its first public auction appearance tonight. Issued
in 1861 by a bank that operated as a Free Bank from 1854 to October
1864, then continued under the banner of G.W. Patterson, Private Banker
in 1865 and 1866 before becoming a private bank operating as the Geo.
Washington Bank until it suspended in February, 1875, this note features
the portraits of George and Martha Washington, the bank’s title, and
a TEN denominational counter all printed in blue, with the remainder
of the face design being printed in black. The back of the note has an
elaborate design centered on another portrait of Washington flanked
by two ribbons bearing the bank’s and banker’s names. We are aware of
only two notes from this bank; a $1 and this $10 which has a completely
different partially printed date than any other note from the bank. When
sold in 2016, the Very Fine condition $1 attracted bids in excess of $5,000,
after having sold for $3,435 in 2009 as part of the landmark Schingoethe
collection. While this $10 is in Fine condition, it is fully intact with no
condition distractions aside from even wear and should attract equally
intense bidding attention.

A great note from a great location. This bank was represented by two
$1-$1-$2-$5 uncut sheets, one with and one without orange protectors, in
the 1990 ABNCo Archives sale (Lot 1145). At least the sheet with orange
protector notes was subsequently cut (as were many others). The $2 from
this sheet made its first auction appearance in 2014 and then appeared
again in our 2015 CSNS Currency Signature Auction. This marks its
third appearance. We have every reason to believe that this note remains
unique. PCGS mentions the usual small POCs in the signature lines and
that the note is mounted on cardstock, another very common practice of
the day.

20504 Jamestown, NY- Chautauqua County Bank $1 May 1, 1864 G2
PMG Choice Fine 15.

An incredible New York Obsolete late issue National Bank Note
Company printed rarity which may well be unique from this institution,
as every note issued is SENC in the Haxby reference. Since this bank con-
verted to a national charter and became the Chautauqua County National
Bank in 1865, the State of New York kept statistics each year until 1870
as to how much each newly chartered national bank had outstanding
in state issued currency. By 1870, this bank had a mere $655 remaining
outstanding. We have neither seen nor heard of any others. PMG notes a
stain, which is light and affects nothing.

A magnificent Danforth, Wright & Co. color tinted proof on original card. It was one-of-a-kind in the 1990 ABNCo. sale and
was featured upon its original $1-$1-$2-$3 sheet on the color plates. The Durand patented geometric features are numerous,
perhaps impossible to count. The deep red tint provides a superb contrast with the other printing and its curved title. The only vignette is
the “Artisan” used on notes from that New York City bank. This was last sold in April 2011 for $18,400. It still maintains its highest rar-
ity and is nearly perfect. One of the finest New York color proofs in the entire 1990 ABNCo. sale.

The Morrisania Bank “One” Proofs engraved and printed by Waterman
Lily Ormsby’s firm have been the subject of many discussions
for decades. New York State specialists once argued that it was not a
“banknote” and should not be classified as having an actual location.
This debate was mostly debunked when Haxby listed the bank in his
four-volume reference. The workmanship on this proof has all the fea-
tures of a sample advertising piece by Ormsby for contract work pro-
posals. However, the vignette structure seen here was also used on the
Carroll County Bank, New Hampshire notes engraved and printed by
him. A most attractive note for a New York Obsolete specialist.

20517 New York, NY - Artisans Bank $3 18___ G6aP SENC Proof PMG Superb Gem Uncirculated 67 EPQ.

A mesmerizing $3 full color proof from one of the finest crafted series that appeared in the 1990 ABNCo. sale at Christie’s. The color sheets from this
aptly named title were coveted by many, but ended up in the collection of John Whitney Walter. Later they were sold by Lyn Knight in his epic auction
outside Chicago in 2004. All denominations from the series were engraved and printed by Danforth, Wright & Co. This is beautifully designed with
a mechanic at the top center and American industrial allegory at the right. The red is shaded darker around the perimeter and lighter red lace in the
centers. The overall effect is intense in a desirable way. Chuck landed this price in strong competition at the first 52 Collection sale held in New York.
The $5 proof from this series appeared on that catalog’s cover, but this proof is rarer (three known, one on India paper only) and in many ways the most
handsome in the series. It justifiably realized $11,500. On India paper, mounted to its original archive book card; it was Gem as a raw proof and is now
assigned a hefty PMG Superb Gem Uncirculated 67 EPQ. Though we exist in a different marketplace for upper echelon Obsolete Banknotes, one thing
remains constant - that the greatest notes always remain great and this is among them. High caliber in so many ways.

A third exemplary Artisans Bank full color proof on card by Danforth, Wright & Co. Like the entire series, this proof live up to its perfectly assigned title
and exhibits the finest craftsmanship of the period. The geometric patents used were the devices of Cyrus Durand and he would take them with him
when he left for the National Bank Note Company formation. Two shades of red used, like the $3 proof here. The top center with shipwrights at work
and appropriate for theme. The 52 Collection had four different full color denominations, but not a $10 proof like this superb example. On India paper,
mounted to its original archive book card. Purchased at the 2014 ANA for just over $10,000. These two are first to be offered at public sale since and we
believe the other $10 proof is closely held. Immensely beautiful, a great rarity, and excellent pedigree.

Uncirculated 62, 4 POCs.

The Bank of New York, founded 1784 and still known today as “BONY,”
is one of the first three banks established in the infancy of the inde-
pendent United States of America. Their earliest notes are listed in The
Early Paper Money of America, including the 1786 notes denominated in
Pounds (see the unique Newman plate note 4 pounds example, ex: James
DuPont Collection March 1993 Smythe sale). The soundness of this bank,
with its immense capital and important connections, created many series
of notes depending on the banking laws of the time, legal requirements,
and aesthetic considerations of the bank officials. This is a very colorful,
late Bank of New York $1 type engraved and printed by the American
Bank Note Company. PMG has noted a couple of minor repairs that are
not readily apparent.

G18P SENC Proof PMG Superb Gem Unc 67 EPQ, 6 POCs.

The only reported note and $1000 from this otherwise unknown New
York City bank. It was originally a single note lot (a rarity among a sale
driven with groups of sheets) in the 1990 ABNCo. sale and sold for $1,045
in that ancient era to Herb and Martha Schingoethe. India paper proof
on its original archive card by Danforth, Bald & Co. A simple design with
only one small vignette at the central base. A note such as this would have
been used within the bank or in large transactions with neighboring New
York City banks. They would likely not circulate among the public as this
was 50 gold “Double Eagles,” a princely sum in today’s equivalence. This
was an expensive purchase in 1990 and Chuck bought this shortly after
the second Schingoethe sale for $2,800. Priceless to New York collectors
as the only note observed from the bank of any type. It certainly enjoys its
superb preservation from the ABNCo. archives for nearly 170 years.

Extremely rare and unusual. This is part of a four note series of odd

was easy to count - $50 even. This appears to be the Haxby Plate Note.
The only other example known to us was part of a complete denomina-
tion set. Printed on India paper only. Nicely styled in the 1830s manner.
Clipper ship and Venus vignettes. Two large “14” dies make it plain the
odd denomination. An essential denomination for such a set collected
by Durand types. Previously mounted is noted, there are back top stamp
hinges in place; not affecting the face in any way. These “oddest of odd”
denominations are rarely offered. The last $14 we cataloged was in 2008
on the Merchants Bank, realizing $2,760.

20532 New York, NY- Continental Bank $518 — as G8 Proof PCGS Choice About New 58.

Fives were wild on this design, with five allegorical maidens seated in the middle vignette and five Revolutionary War officers lining both ends. This was
done as a deterrent to note raisers (the number of portraits and allegorical figures each totaled five, the same as this denomination). Surprisingly, neither
this design nor the bank was represented in the ABNCo Archives sale. This is a very rare proof, with only one or two examples presently known to us.
PCGS indicates that the note has very subtle cut cancels in the signature spaces and that it is mounted on cardstock.

20533 New York, NY - Continental Bank $1000 18_—§ G20 SENC Proof PMG Gem Uncirculated 66EPQ.

Within the remarkable Charles R. Pease collection offering tonight, this special note surely brought great enjoyment to Chuck and was a centerpiece
in his museum caliber cabinet. Some might argue that the three Saint Nicholas Bank proof denominations known (one from our Newman Part VI sale
that realized over $22,000 and the two others from our Durand Collection sale in 2012) are the highest royalty of New York proofs and perhaps the
entire northeast. However, we believe this $1000 Continental Bank with its “worldly” globe vignette design is the king of New York proofs. Not only is
it a high denomination, but the central vignette showing the full globe view from pole to pole with continents shown in this manner is known only on
this Obsolete Banknote type. It held court on the front cover of 52 Collection Part II sale catalog for the first time in January 2011. Chuck pulled in this
prize in intense competition at $25,300 making it one the highest priced black and white proofs of all time. It was originally part of a four piece high
denomination proof series on the bank from $50 to this $1000 (the other three had been sold in the 52 Collection Part I sale the previous June for high
four-figure realizations). India paper on its original cardstock by Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson. In addition to the centered world vignette, there is the
“Surrender of Cornwallis,” appropriate to the title to the left and George Washington at the lower right. It is understatement to mention how riveting this
to behold. Our starting bid is quite conservative for such a prize; indicative more of the adjustments in markets than desirability. Bidding well in excess
of the start is warranted and encouraged. The next visionary collector can build a world class cabinet around this note or it will augment the finest exist-
ing holdings. Spectacular rarity meets iconic imagery from a world class pedigree.

Uncirculated 65 EPQ, 4 POCs.

An extremely rare Proof from this New York City institution which later
adopted a national charter and became the Irving National Bank. It was
organized in 1851 to serve the needs of merchants and grocers at the
nearby Washington Market in lower Manhattan and named in honor of
Washington Irving, the great American diplomat, essayist and author
whose best known works are his short stories “The Legend of Sleepy
Hollow” and “Rip Van Winkle.” This piece was obtained by our con-
signor in a private transaction and is a lovely Gem example mounted on
cardstock.

20541 New York, NY - Mechanics’ Bank in the City of New York
$1000 18. as G158P Proof PMG Gem Uncirculated 65EPQ.
Unquestionably one of the greatest Fairman designed notes and master-
pieces of the 1820s engraving period. There are only two examples known
of what we consider a technically unlisted type from Haxby (though
assigned G158P at PMG, which it may be). The Gem was on the cover of
the 1995 Smythe Memphis auction and didn’t reappear until November
2011 where Chuck enthusiastically found this prize at $8,912.50. He was
the underbidder for the other example in the 52 Collection Part II sale
earlier in the year at $8,625. Patience landed him this much finer condi-
tion example; the other is ensconced in a major collection now for nearly
nine years. The immense design at the center is the ultimate Archimedes
and his levering of the World theme. He leans on the lever, holding
aloft “the weight of the world,” with his hand pointing to the meridians.
Another standout combining great rarity and impressive style. Nearly
impossible to replace on the fall of the hammer.

20552 New York, NY- Saint Nicholas Bank $1 Nov. 1, 1859 G2a PCGS Very Fine 35.

An issued example with a red “ONE” protector. This cancelled note with the Santa Type II vignette has four POCs at the signature lines. This example is
one serial number higher than the Haxby plate note. The building in the central vignette is the Saint Nicholas Hotel. Information about the hotel can be
found on page 136 in Durand’s Interesting Notes About Architecture book. A gorgeous six story building with a marble edifice, the hotel could accom-
modate up to 1,000 guests. It was located on the west side of Broadway between Broome and Spring streets. Approximately three dozen surviving exam-
ples of this variety have been reported. This is an attractive mid-grade $1 with just some hole punch cancels that do not touch the all-important Santa
vignette. This note was originally part of the Roger H. Durand Santa Claus Collection.

20553 New York, NY- Saint Nicholas Bank $1 May 14, 1862 G2b PMG Very Fine 30.

The bank opened in 1852 and remained in business until 1865 when it became the Saint Nicholas National Bank of New York (Charter 972). This note,
whose central vignette shows the Saint Nicholas Hotel, is always extremely popular due to the Santa Claus vignette on the right end. Unlike the vast
majority of the other examples of this note which have survived, this example does NOT have the distracting POCs in the signatures. This is one of the
nicest notes of this design that we have ever offered, with PMG noting only some inconsequential pinholes. Our most recent offering of this note in Fine
15 condition without POCs sold for $4,560 in May of last year and we expect this example, which grades a full fifteen points higher without qualifica-
tions other than a few pinholes, to certainly exceed that price level.

A stunning Santa Claus note from this collection and the numerous accolades afforded it are not hyperbole. This was a crown jewel from the Roger H.
Durand Santa Claus Collection we sold at the 2012 FUN auction for $34,500. Eight years later the collecting community has another opportunity for
the bragging rights to this American classic. Not only does it feature the exceedingly rare Durand Vignette Type V Santa Claus engraved by Rawdon,
Wright, Hatch, Edson & Co., but it is a fully issued note in strong condition. The paper plainly has ample body and the minor nicks noted long ago by
PCGS should be discounted entirely when evaluating such a priceless currency note. In the decades prior to 2012 and since, has another example been
cited. The layout is tremendous with the left end of the curved title lifting the Santa into the corner nicely and the right end just over the appropriate
portrait of Peter Stuyvesant. Red florid signatures are perfectly performed and the late 1864 date is near the issuance of their Original Series notes.
Unknown to Haxby when his opus was published. It is of course the plate note in Roger H. Durand’s Christmas volume. Also, it is the Kelly plate note
and featured on the front cover. Essential for a complete vignette type set of Santa Claus notes by Durand vignettes. It crosses over numerous genres of
American paper money and truly ranks itself among the greatest Obsolete Banknotes we have seen.

There are relatively few $5000 Obsolete demand notes known and most

example we have traced. We last saw it when it was sold at the second

1988 prior to that. India paper proof with classical style of the 1830s.
Top center with three allegorical females. Identical allegorical females
standing on globes at each end. There is noted restoration and the proof
has seen considerable handling. However, we have never seen another
example and there few $5000 proofs from New York City. Quite under-
rated compared to most lower denomination proofs from the period.

20556 New York, NY- United States Accelerating Steam Navigation
Co. 2 Shares July 6, 1841 PMG Very Fine 25.

The issuer’s business was to develop a steam powered balloon, which alas,
failed to get off the ground. In fact, there was considerable discussion
throughout the 1840’s regarding the feasibility of this project, including
an 1845 article published in Scientific American furnishing details of a
steam powered balloon. By the end of the decade, with the discovery of
gold in California, the idea was revived. While a handful of these notes
are known in several different denominations they are avidly sought after
and seldom available thanks in part to the central vignette which depicts
the company’s hoped for product, a steam-powered balloon. This pleasing
mid-grade example, which has a minor repair, is the finest note we have
ever been able to offer from this issuer.

20576 Cadiz, OH- State Bank of Ohio, Harrison Branch $10 186_
G182a Wolka 0252-UNL Proof PMG Uncirculated 62.

The State Bank of Ohio was one of the largest banks in the United States,
with 41 branches spread across the state. The Harrison Branch in Cadiz
opened in 1847 and remained in business until it became the Harrison
National Bank of Cadiz (Ch. 1447) in1865. The note features a vignette
of three men “solving the world’s problems” as well as a portrait of John
Andrews, the second president of the entire statewide bank network. The
orange protector elements on this proof are somewhat different than the
design used by most branches. The note is printed on India paper with
the usual POCs in the signature lines and has the distinctive “Wismer
Hinge Remnants” on both ends, suggesting a provenance that extends
back to the 1930s. PMG also mentions a tear repair which is barely dis-
cernable over the “H” in “OHIO” in the bank title. This example had been
part of the Schingoethe Collection and was the plate note in Haxby. We
believe that this example was, and remains, unique.

0341-52 Proof PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.

The Bank of Chillicothe was one of the oldest banks in the state, open-
ing in 1806 and remaining in business until it became a branch of the
State Bank of Ohio in 1845. This $100 features two of Underwood, Bald,
Spencer & Hufty’s trademark medallion-like cameo heads, two small oval
vignettes of putti and a vignette of an allegorical maiden seated under a
tree with a steamboat in the distance. This note is printed on India paper
without any POCs and was once part of Lot 1429 in the 1990 ABNCo
Archives sale. We believe that this note is unique.

“ANTI-BANK-ING CO.” Variety

20578 Kirtland, OH- Kirtland Safety Society Anti-Bank-ing Co. $3
Jan. 4, 1837 G6 Wolka 1422-03 Rust 14 PMG Very Fine 25 Net.

When state officials refused to grant a banking charter, the organizers
decided to move forward and, for a short period of time, even resorted to
changing the bank title on some of its bank notes. This was accomplished
by applying two stamps with “ANTI-” and “ING CO.” to the existing
notes so that the name became the Kirtland Safety Society ANTI-BANK-
ING CO. In addition Bank officer titles were overstamped to further
suggest that this was a Company rather than a Bank. Needless to say, this
ploy did not buy the enterprise much time, with it ultimately failing in
November, 1837. This example is printed on paper that is still bright with
strong handwritten information, with PMG mentioning tape on the right
margin.

20579 Kirtland, OH- Kirtland Safety Society Bank $100 March 9,
1837 G18 Wolka 1424-18 Rust 11 PMG Fine 12.

The $100 Kirtland note is the highest denomination from the series and
has always had a broad appeal, a majestic presence among the other
Kirtland notes. Printed as the bottom note on the high denomination
sheet by Underwood, Bald, Spencer & Hufty, N. York & Philad. At the
top center is a historical vignette of the Presentation of the Declaration
of Independence, with the Founding Fathers rendered in deep detail as
adapted from John Trumbull’s iconic painting. At left, a facing cameo
head with “100” is on either side. The identical ends are perpendicular
and have ornate filigree detail with “C” counter in the center and “100”
numerals in each corner. The signatures are those of J(oseph) Smith, Jr.
and S(idney) Rigdon. It has been nearly three years to the day since we
sold our last Kirtland $100, with that piece grading Fine 15 and realizing
$5,287.50. Expect this piece, which is in a comment free PMG Fine 12
holder, to likely equal and perhaps well exceed that figure.

20580 Springfield, OH- Springfield Bank $1 18__ as G6a Wolka
2452-02 Proof PMG Choice Uncirculated 63.

The Springfield Bank opened as a Free Bank in 1851 and continued in
business until it became the First National Bank of Springfield (Ch. 238)
in 1864. Toward the end of their run, Free Banks were given more latitude
to order more non standard designs such as this $1. A red protector panel
and bicolor counters attractively frame the center vignette of a milkmaid
with her cows. Printed on India paper with the usual small POCs in the
signature lines, this note has the side margin mounting hinge remnants
that strongly suggest provenance all the way back to D.C. Wismer in the
1930s. At present, we are aware of only one example of this note in proof
form.

20581 Steubenville, OH- Bank of Steubenville $20 18 G44 Wolka
2474-21 Proof PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.

The Bank of Steubenville opened in 1809 and remained sporadically in
business until ultimately failing for good in 1841. State records indicate
that this design was never issued. It is an attractive layout with portraits
of Washington and Fulton and medallion like cameo heads flanking a
large center vignette of a water goddess pouring water out of a jug. The
note is printed on India paper mounted on card with the usual POCs
in the signature lines. An indistinct ghost image of another Bank of
Steubenville issue appears on the verso. We presently count two surviving
examples.

20582 Toledo, OH- Marine Bank $1 18 __ as G2a Wolka 2562-01 Proof
PMG Choice Uncirculated 63.

The Marine Bank was one of the last Free Banks to be organized in the
state, opening in 1860-61. The bank was merged into the Second National
Bank of Toledo in 1865. The note features vignettes of a busy wharf scene
and a sailing vessel as well as a large ornate red-orange 1 protector. This
is an original period proof printed on India paper mounted on cardstock
with the usual small POCs in the signature lines. It should not be con-
fused with modern proprietary proofs that have a green tint. PMG notes
some tears which are very small and virtually impossible to easily locate
through the holder. On a note of this rarity they are almost a moot point.

20583 Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory- B.H. Epperson 50¢ Aug. 1,
1862 Burgett 3 Medlar 13 PMG Fine 12.

Both the Burgett Oklahoma reference and Medlar’s Texas reference
(which lists notes from this issuer because the notes, although issued
from the Choctaw Nation in what was then Indian Territory and is now
Oklahoma, were payable at Clarksville, Texas) list notes from this issuer.
Mr. Epperson was actually a very prominent merchant and lawyer with
interests throughout east Texas who played a prominent role in Texas
politics before and during Reconstruction. Although a staunch Union
man before secession, he served as a Confederate congressman, declining
to join many of his Texas associates who either joined the Union forces or
decamped to the north upon the outbreak of the war. We have had only
one 50 cent example in any previous sale, with that piece, graded just a
tad higher than this, realizing $2,820 nearly seven years ago. PMG notes a
previous mounting and a minor tape repair on this handsome piece, nei-
ther of which really matter on a note of this rarity.

20584 Wewoka, OK (Indian Terr.)- Wewoka Trading Co. 5¢ ND
Burgett UNL PCGS Apparent Fine 15.

This is the only note from this issuer known to us. Wewoka was located
in the heart of the Seminole Nation. The website of the Oklahoma
Historical Society notes, “Elijah J. Brown, a white trader, established
a trading post at Wewoka in 1866. Over two decades the post passed
through several owners. In 1880 Seminole Chief John F. Brown and his
brother Andrew Jackson Brown bought it from Courtland L. Long. In
1891 Long repurchased an interest in the firm from the Brown broth-
ers and named it the Wewoka Trading Company. Located at the corner
of Main Street and Wewoka Avenue, the general store offered clothing,
stoves, furniture, wagons, and farm implements. Customers included
whites and African Americans as well as American Indians. The compa-
ny issued its own scrip, which could be exchanged at other local business-
es. The vault at the Wewoka Trading Company safeguarded the Seminole
Nation records and the federal annuity payments to the Seminole.” This
issuer is unlisted in Burgett and signed by Long, dating it to between 1891
and approximately 1907. PCGS mentions a repair in the lower right cor-
ner that is pretty well done. A great note from a hard to collect area.

The Catasauqua full color tinted series is easily one of the finest look-

Gem from the Pease collection with an architectural theme rendered in
a very 19th Century American realism style. Framed within its deep red
Danforth, Wright & Co. tinting, the scene is methodically detailed down
to the billowy smoke and foreground train being loaded. This card proof
is one of the three examples on a sole sheet from the 1990 ABNco. sale
and later sold in the important Schingoethe Part I sale in 2004. This Gem
is on its original card and appears to be the match of its former sheet-
mate, graded PCGS Superb Gem 67PPQ, we sold at our 2019 FUN auc-
tion. Worth well in excess of our conservative starting price; perhaps by

The second highest denomination from this Catasauqua full color tinted series and from one of the finest looking suites sold in the 1990 sale. This
$50 proof is yet another stunning full color Gem from the Pease collection. Both major vignettes use a very 19th century American realism style.
Wonderfully red tinted across the note by Danforth, Wright & Co., micro details and counters were machined using the Cyrus Durand patents. The
foundry scene at top center is warmly rendered with its blazing heat evident. Bottom left is a classic Danforth vignette with a hunter loading his rifle.
This card proof is the sole example from its unique sheet from the 1990 ABNco. sale. When last auctioned on March 276, 2014, it achieved $16,100. It
maintains its status as one of the rarest and finest looking Pennsylvania and Danforth, Wright & Co. proofs known.

life by adding additional counterfeit deterrents, as this design was prob-
ably used originally in the late 1830s or 1840s, but was then updated with
an overall red tint and the addition of two red and white 5 protectors.
This permitted the design to continue in use for another twenty years.
Mounted on cardstock, it is a most attractive Proof.

Prior to the 1990 ABNCo. sale, the $500 and $1000 types were unknown

Underwood, Bald & Spencer. Printed on India paper and on its original
archive book card. This was in the Schingoethe Collection for well over a
decade and was not sold individually until 2014. Classic style throughout
as used on this imprint. Its uniqueness overwhelms any minor faults seen
on the edges from old, but original archive, glue as prepared at the print-

in 1864. The central vignette of workmen loading a wagon certainly
adds to its appeal. This would have been an expensive series and type to

each color. Not part of the ABNCo Archives sale in 1990. This is only the

This ultra-high denomination from this historic bank founded over 200

sale in October 2004 for $2,760 where it was properly pedigreed to its hid-

was worthy of an individual lot in 1990, finally so in 2004, and of course
now. Significant as the highest denomination on the bank and series
(the only known Pennsylvania $10,000 notes were on Philadelphia Bank,
as in this sale, and the Girard Bank) and unique. The classic style with
Pennsylvania arms at the upper left and clear denomination ends and
blocks. India paper proof by Underwood, Bald, Spencer & Hufty. Only
the exceptional Obsolete Note collections have contained so many ultra-

Hoober 305-189 Remainder PCGS Choice About New 55PPQ.

An extremely rare “At sight pay...” remainder note from this important
Philadelphia banking house and payable to E. W. Clark & Brothers,
Bankers St. Louis, Mo. This is a Pennsylvania note and is listed in the
Hoober state book. Enoch White Clark and several sons were wealthy
bankers. The banking house was founded in 1837 and added branch
offices in several cities across the country in order to issue or redeem “at
sight” notes such as this. Jay Cooke, Civil War financier and broker in
Federal loans, was an associate and then partner in this firm. The Clark
family is also associated with Clark’s Exchange Bank in Springfield,
Illinois, whose proofs surfaced in the 1990 ABN Archives sale. This is a
four-state tie note with perpendicular branch office titles at the left end:
E. W. Clark & Co., Philadelphia; JW. Clark & Co., Boston; E. W. Clark,
Dodge & Co., N. York. A $100 deposit would be made at a branch and
the “at sight” note could be endorsed over to others in commerce and
eventually be paid by another branch as far away as St. Louis. This note
was printed about 1850 and has the New England Bank Note Co., Boston
imprint. It is a remainder that is an extremely important Philadelphia and
St. Louis tie note.

All notes from this unusually named title are rare. This is the highest

is seated at the top center and nautical scenes with Neptune and a ship in

detract from its precise designs and nearly Gem grade.

Extremely rare and apparently from the final series of notes printed for

American Bank Note Company proof on India paper, mounted on its
original card. It originally surfaced in a Virginia proof trove and was a
discovery for its series and type. Interesting layout with a half-length por-
trait in the center balancing all its geometric features and color tint plate.
The large “20” is particularly handsome. PMG notes some toning which
is evenly distributed and creates a halo effect around the portrait. We
believe this one of two known examples discovered. Popular location and
rarer imprint that was not in the 1990 ABNCo. sale at Christie's.

20620 Philadelphia, PA - Philadelphia Bank $10,000 18__ Unlisted Proof PMG Choice Uncirculated 64.

It is far from a stretch that this is one of the most important Pennsylvania Obsolete Banknotes. It was printed for one of the earliest American bank
titles which issued many series of notes from 1803 to becoming a National Bank in 1864. All genuine notes from the bank were fully redeemable for
decades after 1864. This proof stands up with the 1782 Bank of North America $100 issued note, originally from the Wayte Raymond Estate (that sold
for $37,375 at Ford Part VIII in 2005), and the two known Bank of North America $1000 color proofs (one with a five-figure realizations on their resume
and the other locked in a foundation). This amazing note boasts an illustrious pedigree prior to its fine home in the Pease Collection since June 2005. It
originally came from the (unnamed) Rasmussen collection sold by Bowers & Merena at Baltimore over two decades ago. Those Rasmussen proofs often
originally came directly from Julian Blanchard. It is unique, once part of an unlisted two-subject $5,000-$10,000 sheet, and made its way quickly to the
Schingoethe collection by private treaty where it remained until sold in the third (of 18 numbered) sales at the 2005 Memphis auction for $20,700. The
size of this $10,000 is slightly oversized compared to lesser, circulating demand notes from the period. Clearly, such a note was used for bank to bank
transactions only to facilitate counting time and storage. The size differential would make a counting error difficult if mixed with other notes. Great
expense was made to engrave this mega-denomination plate to print this at Draper, Toppan, Longacre & Co. Classical scene at the top center. Intricate
end panels with three vignettes each. It is also interesting to note the rarely seen comma used in the denomination “$10,000.” In this 1830s time period,
only one other Philadelphia title proposed $10,000 notes-the Girard Bank. These are known, but are dwarfed by the uniqueness and beauty of this clas-
sic. Philadelphia has been well collected over the past decade. As the highest denomination from one of America’s historic bank titles, it will be a corner-
stone in its next superb collection. This has all the hallmarks of exceeding the starting bid handily.

Despite the familiar name, the bank was actually operating with a state charter

from Pennsylvania between 1836 and its final demise in 1841. The note, which

appears to be printed on card mounted on another card, features portraits of

Rittenhouse, Penn, Paine, Fulton, Franklin, and Morris as well as the bank’s

headquarters in Philadelphia. While issued notes from this series are frequently

available, the same can not be said of proofs like this. We believe that two proof

$2000 examples of this design are extant, with the other example appearing as

part of a 2005 group lot in our CAA Dallas Texas Signature Auction #364.

A great rarity and fascinating. Not only is this a gorgeous ABNCo.
engraved proof with green color elements, it is also a precursor type
to a type printed shortly there after at Fall River, Massachusetts. That
situation was created when the state line moved. Under Rhode Island,
this proof appeared in the January 2014 Spink USA sale (pedigree, John
Kosior collection) where Chuck acquired it. In addition to its green
protector details, there is a tranquil bovine scene in the center. At the
lower left is a Native American princess and at the lower right The
Calmady Children. We are fairly certain this is unique with “RHODE
ISLAND” designation. The issued Whitman plate note is mistakenly the
Massachusetts (the Haxby Plate note also) type. The PMG noted previ-
ously mounted (stamp hinges at back sides) pedigree this back to the
Wismer holdings; a bonus and not a detriment.

The Arcade Bank was one of Jackson’s “pet banks” which were deposi-

amounts of its notes far from home. The building featured on this $3 is
the Arcade in Providence which was one of the first “indoor malls” in
the country. Today it is home to high end apartments and specialty retail
establishments. This note is printed on India paper mounted on card-
stock with the usual POCs in the signature lines. The note design was not

20641 Providence, RI- Atlas Bank $1 Aug. 10, 1854 G2a Durand 990 PCGS Fine 12.

Issued notes from the Atlas Bank are rare and, they are justifiably coveted due to the Santa Claus vignette appearing on the $1 denomination. The origi-
nal plate for the series was engraved by Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson/New England Bank Note Co. This is an earlier dated note and the plate has no
added ABNCo monogram as observed on the Durand Collection we auctioned at the 2012 FUN Currency Signature Auction. Looking back cautiously,
the winged cherub at top rolls an 1854 Seated Liberty dollar that is just about his size. At lower left, a cherub is incorporated into a gushing fountain. The
oval at the lower right corner encloses the Durand Type II Santa Claus vignette (whether the art is by Rawdon, Hatch or James Major is not established).
The whimsical scene shows Santa Claus with a present-filled sack. With his back to us, he turns his head as if interrupted while filling stockings, and
makes the famous gesture of “laying his finger aside of his nose,” as in the poem by Clement Clark Moore. A cat stands by aloofly. With a red protector
ONE. This example has the low serial number 24, and the variant was not in the Roger H. Durand collection. His collection note, cited earlier, realized
$5,463 graded PCGS Very Good 8. This ex Newman Collection note shows the typical “New England” trimming, but is very attractive. This is a perfect
representative of the Type II “Santa” notes, which are always difficult to obtain.

Proof PCGS Gem New 65PPQ.

This pretty proof has one of the most unique vignettes encountered in
Obsolete paper money. Many vignettes are horizontally panoramic, but
this vignette takes up the entire height of the note. Knowledge and Time
watch Atlas lift the earth on his shoulders. The four allegorical women
at the top represent the four continents - Africa, the Americas, Europe,
and Asia living in harmony. This example traces its provenance bank to a
Wellstood imprint archive owned by John J. Ford, Jr. PCGS mentions the
usual POCs in the signature lines.

20645 Providence, RI- High Street Bank $20 18
Proof PMG Choice Uncirculated 63.

The High Street Bank was incorporated in 1828 and remained in busi-
ness until 1930 when it became the High Street Bank and Trust Company.
This note depicts Commerce seated with an eagle and caduceus, a portrait
of a young woman, and a framed portrait of Franklin. The note is printed
on India paper with the usual POCs in both signature lines. PMG notes
evidence of previous mounting and an annotation (a tiny penciled S/50).
This note was not represented in the 1990 ABNCo Archives sale nor has
it made any auction appearances in at least the last decade. Decidedly rare
and likely to stay that way.

Handsome Tri-color Providence Proof

rove cy AY a pp of

20646 Providence, RI - Providence Bank $10 March 4, 1861 G80aP
Proof PMG Uncirculated 61.

Quite a striking layout and color scheme. There are very few tri-color
Obsolete notes due to the costs involved in creating plates and printing.
The American Bank Note Co., New York had the technology to engrave
and print these impressive notes. March 4, 1861, the engraved date of
this note, was Abraham Lincoln’s first inauguration. A bold India paper
proof with layered color tinting in the center. A deep red “10” is over a
green guilloche die with outlined “TEN,” and this is all over a rectangle
of the denomination in vermillion micro-lettering. The perimeter frame,
formed of alternating micro-numerals and floral ornaments, encloses
the vignettes and protectors. Within the large cartouche at left, History
inscribes the bank’s incorporation date on a scroll that is over a tablet
with the textual denomination. In an oval at lower right, Hope’s anchor
rests on a rock at the seashore. We have seen a few of this type, but is
excellent condition. A few are damaged and brittle; perhaps from the
color ink. We auction a similar example in our Newman Part VII sale
for $3,290. This “C” position piece came from the Ford Part XXII sale
where the position of cutting indicates they were once sheet-mates with
the Newman example. There are some minor faults not affecting the eye
appeal. Another tinting type that would be essential in a well rounded
collection of American Obsolete Banknote proofs.

20648 Tiverton, RI - Pocasset Bank $500 18__ G16P SENC Proof
PMG About Uncirculated 53.

To our knowledge, the highest denominations from Rhode Island are
only known as proofs and this is an interesting location and title. We
believe this is the only $500 known from the title in private hands.
Because the state line moved, notes from the bank were issued here and
later in Massachusetts at Fall River. This boldly designed proof has a large
red “D” protector embracing the center. The large nautical vignette and
Native American scene The Flight of Weetamoe are endearing. The lat-
ter vignette was created by Wellstood, Hay, Hanks, & Whiting for this
title only. An impressive India paper proof discovered in the Wellstood
Albums sold in 2007 by Smythe. There is a black and white $500 proof
that was sold from the Ford collection in 1994. However, that was pur-
chased on behalf of a public institution and is not available to collectors.
There is some minor handling on the India paper and petty glue spots
indicated by its PMG assessment. This is a stylish high denomination rar-
ity from the Pease collection.

PMG About Uncirculated 55.

The Washington Bank was incorporated in 1800 and remains in business
to this day under the banner of Washington Trust. Each note has some
representation of George Washington. In this case his portrait is the focal
point of the design. Hope stands with an anchor in a niche on the right
end. The note is printed on India paper with the usual POCs in both sig-
nature lines. This note’s provenance stretches back to the John J. Ford col-
lection. It is believed to be one of two proof examples of this design that
survive.

20650 Woonsocket, RI- Producers Bank $1 18 _ as G3 as Durand
2634 PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.

The Producers Bank was incorporated in 1852 and remained in business
until becoming the Producers National Bank (Ch. 1421) in 1865. This
note features a large vignette of Liberty draped in the Stars and Stripes
standing. The center vignette has a seated Native American pondering
a plow (part of the “March of Civilization” genre of vignettes that were
popular before the Civil War). The right vignette shows an arm holding a
hammer on an anvil. The note is printed on India paper mounted on card
/ archive book card with the usual small POCs in the signature lines. This
note was part of a single uncut four subject sheet that was part of Lot 1838
in the ABNCo Archives sale. It was deemed unique in 1990 and nothing
has changed in the intervening three decades.

20651 Woonsocket, RI- Woonsocket Falls Bank $100 Jan. 1,18 _ G62
Durand 2740 Proof PMG Choice Uncirculated 63.

The bank was incorporated in 1828 and continued in business until
becoming the Woonsocket National Bank (Ch. 1058) in 1865. This note
features a large custom vignette of the town and falls, a smaller vignette
of Ceres and Liberty flanking the state seal, and a vignette of a farm girl.
The note is printed on India paper, mounted on original card and has the
usual POCs in the signature lines. PMG mentions stains that are primar-
ily on the back of the card and do not affect the note in any way. While
there is a small stain in the left card margin on the face, it is nowhere near
the note itself. In all likelihood, there are only two proof examples of this
design extant.

SOUTH CAROLINA

20652 Charleston, SC- Bank of Charleston $5 18 _
Proof PMG Choice Uncirculated 63.

This design was not in the ABNC Archives holdings that were dispersed
in 1990. We have observed examples of this design with plate letters A, B,
and C and suspect, therefore that this design in proof form is represented
by three or perhaps four examples. The visual effect is amazing and
would have required three passes through the press. A few issued notes
are known so this design was actually put into production. A superlative
addition from a state that has given up very few color proofs in the last
twenty five years. There are the usual small POCs in the signature lines.

This design was from the same issue as the previous $5. It features a
large vignette of a cotton boll as well as one of Commerce and, perhaps,
Minerva seated on a wharf. Filling out the design is an oval portrait of
Calhoun. The use of two secondary colors was quite unusual as it was
more expensive, but everyone must agree that the visual effect is striking.
The note is mounted on cardstock and has the usual small POCs in the
signature lines. We are aware of two examples of this design at present.

20654 Ridgeway, SC- Unknown Issuer 5¢-10¢-25¢-50¢ Sep. 1, 1865
Uncut Sheet PCGS Extremely Fine 45.

When we first offered this sheet in our 2016 FUN Currency Signature
Auction where it crossed the auction block for $2,173.75, your cataloger
observed: “If you do not love this sheet then you have no appreciation for
Obsolete paper money. This is a small sheet of four denominations from
an unknown issuer in Ridgeway, SC, a very small town about halfway
between Winnsboro and Columbia, SC. It is dated just a couple of months
after the conclusion of the Civil War. That in itself would make this an
interesting item. What it is printed on, however, is the really significant
thing. The printer used a fully issued Confederate T71 $1 note as the
host paper source. This clearly shows what people thought of the value
of the Confederate dollar just after the war- essentially it was only worth
the paper it was printed on and nothing more.” We have never seen any-
thing like it before or since. An amazing piece that belongs in the most
advanced Obsoletes, Confederate, or South Carolina collection.

There are few full color Tennessee proofs to collect and this collection is
fortunate to have several. A gorgeous Danforth, Wright & Co. production
on India paper on original card. It has a fine pedigree chain. This was
originally from the Paul Garland collection as observed from the back
of the cardstock with visible “Wismer” style stamp hinges. This and the
two proofs on the solitary sheet in the 1990 ABNCo. sale are the only
ones we are aware of. Boldly rendered hunting scene at the top center. The
red tinting is dual-shaded with deeper red around the counters in white
outline. An extremely rare bank and we are aware of no issued notes;
only the Garland listed proofs and the ABNCo. sale sheet. A tremendous
opportunity.

20663 Greeneville, TN- State Stock Bank of Tennessee $10 Jan’y 1,
1857 G4a Garland 324 Proof PCGS Superb Gem New 67PPQ.

Only a few banks operated under the state’s Free Banking law, with this
being one of them - if it, in fact, ever opened. There was one example of
the $10, part of a single uncut sheet of $5-$5-$10-$20 (lot 1888), in the
1990 ABNCo Archives sale. The hinges on the back of this note were a
hallmark of being owned by D.C. Wismer and there is a $5 known with
the same hinges. This suggests perhaps another sheet was around. It
is therefore possible that the population of surviving proof examples
could be as small as two $10s. This note is a real beauty with a dark brick
red protector and a lighter overall tint. PCGS notes that the example is
mounted on cardstock and has the usual small POCs in the signature
lines. Combine this visual appeal with the probable rarity and superlative
condition and you have a winner.

was on the mentioned solitary sheet in the 1990 ABNCo. sale are the only
ones we are aware of. India paper proof on cardstock by Danforth, Wright
& Co. The full red tinting is two shades with deeper inking at the top cen-
ter protector outlining the “20.” The corner vignettes provide a balanced
layout from this elite imprint group. In addition to its Garland-Wismer
pedigree, it was last sold at the fifth Schingoethe auction in December
2005 for $3,450. All Tennessee full color proofs are rare. A highlight from
this collection which certainly was enjoyed for well over a decade.

In addition to allegorical vignettes depicting Justice (twice) and Liberty as
well as a vignette of a rather unlikely locomotive, this rare proof also has
an oval portrait of Hugh Lawson White, an early Tennessee politician,
US. Senator, and confidant of Andrew Jackson. This design was not part
of the ABNCo Archives holdings dispersed in 1990. We are aware of two
examples plus the note listed in Haxby which may be a duplication of one
of the other two. The consignor’s notes indicate that this example came
from Paul Garland’s personal collection. As Haxby indicates this design
may have only been printed in proof form, this may be one of a very lim-
ited number of opportunities to acquire the design.

1864 Keller TN-SG025 PMG Choice Fine 15.

This 25¢ note was issued on the day that the final issue of Confederate
Treasury Notes commenced. General George Maney was born
in Franklin, Tennessee in 1826. His troops saw action in Kentucky,
Tennessee, Georgia, and the Carolinas. In November 1863, he was
wounded during the Chattanooga Campaign. He was captured during
the Atlanta Campaign and was released but did not return to active duty
due to his wounded arm. After the war, he was an active Republican and
served in several diplomatic posts in South America. Based on the date of
this note, it was in use just before or during the Atlanta campaign. The
note, which depicts a passenger train, is the first of this denomination
that we have offered in one of our auctions and is evenly circulated with
no significant distractions.

The Bank of Memphis was organized in 1853 and remained in business
until 1860 when it became associated with the Bank of Chattanooga,
acting as a branch of that institution. This note depicts Commerce,
Prosperity, and Navigation at center, an unidentified male portrait at
lower left, and America at right. The back is a decorative orange design
with the bank name and denomination highlighted. Both are printed on
India paper mounted on Danforth Wright archive book cards, with the
face proof having the usual POCs in the signature lines. The back proof
has a sealed tear in the bottom margin at right. Lot 1900 in the 1990
ABNCo Archives sale had a single sheet of $1-$1-$1-$2 face proofs and a
matching sheet of back proofs. This lot is undoubtedly the original source
for this pair of proofs and suggests that the likely number of surviving $1
face and back proofs is three of each.

proof is printed on India paper mounted on a Danforth Wright archive
book card with the usual small POCs in the signature lines. The back
proof is an orange decorative design and is also printed on India paper
mounted on archive book card. These proofs were part of Lot 1901 in the

A great note from a rare bank. The River Bank operated for a few years
as a Free Bank, depositing bonds with the State Comptroller's office to
secure its circulation. This beautiful brick red and black proof uses a
vignette of two black hands processing cotton in a cotton press. Your
cataloger has not seen this vignette on other notes and its use may be
unique to this issue. Haxby was aware of proofs and two $5s (Lot 1902)
were in the ABNCo Archives holdings dispersed in 1990. This example
is from Paul Garland’s personal collection according to the consignor’s
notes. The combination of rarity, condition, and vignette subject matter
should lead to spirited competition for this superb note. There are the
usual small POCs in both signature lines.

Garland 1024 Proof PCGS Apparent Choice About New 58.

Liberty appears in a tropical setting (The Tropics) on this spectacular red
and black ABNCo produced proof with engraved signatures that was for-
merly part of the Eric P. Newman collection. The telltale marginal stamp
hinge remnants on the back suggest a provenance all the way back to
D.C. Wismer. This design was not part of the 1990 ABNCo Archives sale
and the “old” proofs typically have only survived in very limited quanti-
ties, harkening back to the days when finding a proof was an infrequent
occurrence. With one previous public auction appearance (this example)
in the last decade, this proof may be unique or nearly so. PCGS mentions
the usual POCs as well as the mounting remnants on the back. The edge
tears mentioned are truly minor and difficult to even locate through the
holder. The note’s positives far outweigh these minor distractions.

20677 Netherland, TN- J.H. Breeding 50¢ Jan. 1, 1863 Schafluetzel-

This note was redeemable in Confederate notes. At present, Mr.
Breeding’s occupation is unknown with the assumption being that he
was some type of merchant. This note serves as the plate note in the new
Tennessee catalog by Schafluetzel and Carson where it is listed as unique.
PMG notes some splits that appear generally along a horizontal fold but
they are neither numerous nor severe.

20679 Trenton, TN- Bank of Trenton $5 18 | G8aP Garland 1248
Proof PMG Choice Uncirculated 63, 6 POCs.

This stunning Danforth, Wright & Co. brick red color proof was original-
ly in the Paul Garland Collection and was acquired by the Schingoethe’s
when Paul sold them his core collection. Plated in his book (and Haxby)
and featured on the color plates. This example is conservatively graded
and was considered a “Gem” when sold in the Schingoethe Part 4 sale in
September 2005. In that ancient history it realized $2,070. Off the market
since, this beauty on card has strong color and portrait vignettes of Henry
Clay paired with a woman attributed as Mrs. F.N.W. Burton and not Mrs.
Henry Clay as cited by Garland. This is one of four we have observed. The
others we consider rather closely held. There are relatively few full color
Tennessee proofs to be had and this is from a rarely encountered bank.

only and one of two known to us (the other was on the solitary sheet in
the 1990 ABNCo. sale). This was last sold in the Schingoethe Part 5 sale
in December 2005 for $3,105. Off the market since, this beauty on card
has strong color and intense use of the Cyrus Durand patents using geo-
metric form for security. Note the lower right female portrait, properly
identified as Mrs. F.N.W. Burton, paired with its opposite corner portrait
of E.L. Cheatham and A key Tennessee color proof.

The Garland rarity rating for 1245 is R15, which translates to unique. It
may very well still be unique, as we have never before offered an example
of this design. This note was previously mounted with a couple of stamp

We have auctioned only four Medlar 29 pieces that were third party
graded higher than the example in this lot. This is a lovely piece that has
the usual cut cancels and it also received an apparent grade due to hav-
ing its cancellations skillfully repaired. The last AU 55, cut cancelled and
without cancellation repairs that we offered realized $6,756 in April, 2017.

and realized $7,200. Our current offering has restoration listed on the

20687 Sam Houston Signed Austin, TX- Treasurer of the State of
Texas $3,118.90 June 9, 1860 Cr. AW16 Medlar 146 PMG Very Fine 30.
The most important fact is that this warrant has a genuine signature
of Governor Sam Houston on the back. This warrant is made payable
for, “protection of the frontier.” This example is of the variety where
“Legislature” is spelled incorrectly as “Legislaturr.” The Criswell-Shull
reference states on page 395 that Houston’s signature increases the value
of this warrant by about six times. Also, Houston’s signature on this war-
rant matches the example found on that page. This piece is pen cancelled
with minor edge damage.

couple of the cut cancellations were not repaired. As usual, the ten cou-

The second Cr. 16A that we have offered, but the first of the $24 denomi-
nation to be a part of our auctions. Also, this piece has only the word
“Bounty” instead of “Bounty Money” penned above the word “services.”
Paymaster Geo. W. Poe is the signer of this warrant. Poe was commis-
sioned a captain of artillery on March 10, 1836 and many sources place
him at the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. Poe was appointed
acting paymaster general on October 12, 1836 and his duties included
establishing the pay department for the Army of the Republic of Texas.
Poe would go on to serve as marshal and lead the procession for Stephen
F. Austin’s funeral on December 29, 1836. This example was previously
mounted.

city of Columbia served as the capital of the Republic of Texas from
October, 1836 until April 18, 1837. The legislature was moved to Houston
on that date due to inadequate accommodations in Columbia. This war-
rant has internal tears with the largest located at far right.

and Justice seated on a wharf, this note is nicer than many other examples
from this issue. This piece bears the desirable signature of Sam Houston
as President of the Republic (done by an amanuensis) and is uncancelled,
making it a scarce item indeed. PMG notes a “foreign substance,” which
has left a couple of spots on the note.

20696 Nacogdoches, TX/New York, NY- Galveston Bay & Texas Land
Company One Labor of Land/177 136/1000 English Acres Oct. 16, 1830
Very Fine.

This is a land certificate good for 177 136/1000 English acres of land in
what was then the newly settled area of Texas between the Sabine and San
Jacinto Rivers. This land came from grants issued to Lorenzo de Zavala.
De Zavala would later become the first vice president of Texas. This is an
important historical document that should interest any Texan or collector
of Texas currency or historical memorabilia, and also a fascinating docu-
ment that gives a glimpse into the history of the American settlement of
Mexican Texas and the revolution that followed. It has just a few folds
that are not at all distracting. The top edge shows a thin reinforcement.
The signatures of the trustees and attorneys of the company are bold and
add to the overall appearance. A map at bottom shows the area in East
Texas where the land grants were available. These land certificates were
sold out of New York City and the Nacogdoches location in Texas is arbi-
trary on our part.

In 1835, Clopper secured two cannons for the Texian Army, the famous
Twin Sisters, which participated in the Battle of San Jacinto.

20698 Salt Lake City, UT- Deseret University Bank $20 186_ UNL PMG Uncirculated 62.

The Deseret University Bank was devised by Deseret University as a means of simulating business transactions in a classroom environment. The school
opened in October, 1868. The “bank” ceased operations in 1869 and most of the notes were burned with few survivors. Surprisingly, the $20 is unlisted
and previously unknown, with Nyholm writing “A $20 seems likely but none have ever been observed.” Despite the indication that this is a remainder
on the holder, your cataloger believes it is a fully issued note with proper signatures, both name and style, that match other known signatures, as well as
a proper date and serial number. PMG mentions small tears and evidence of previous mounting (in the form of scrapbook page remnants on the back. A
rare and historically significant addition to Utah numismatics.

20699 Brattleboro, VT- Windham County Bank $3 Mar. __, 18___ as G6a as Coulter 47 Proof PMG Uncirculated 62.

Given the relatively frequent appearance of remainders, it may come as a surprise that this design is rare in proof form. In fact, only one example
appeared as part of the ABNCo Archives holdings in 1990. It is likely that that note and this example are one and the same. A pretty note with a red over-
all tint and a large red and white THREE protector. There is also a red 3 protector over the serial number line. This note’s provenance extends from the
ABNCo Archives to the Peter Mayer Collection sale in 2015 to our consignor’s collection. PMG notes toning, which is well camouflaged by the red tint,
in the left and upper right margins. The usual small POCs are in the signature lines.

20700 Hyde Park, VT- Lamoille County Bank $10 May 21, 1855 G10 Coulter 5 Proof PCGS Apparent New 62.

A very rare Baldwin Vignette Type III Santa Claus note with the best Santa pedigree you could ask for. We last cataloged this as part of the magnificent
Roger H. Durand Collection sold at the FUN 2012 auction. Graded and encapsulated especially with its pedigree. Only four examples of this series and
red protector type are confirmed. Proofs from this series, with or without protectors, that appeared in the 1990 ABNCo. sale were notoriously poor con-
dition. This is actually quite nice with some minor faults noted by PCGS; an edge tear at top right of center and the upper left corner is slightly nicked.
The Santa is wonderfully engraved and printed. These Santa proofs have stayed in constant demand since they first appeared at the 1990 Christie’s sale.
Whether for type sets, expanded Santa collections, or just enjoyment-they are the Obsolete Note collector’s crowd pleaser. Four POCs.

A very pleasing example of this exceptionally rare note printed by Hoyer

exist in all grades, although some authorities speculate that number may
well be as low as twenty. The vignette at right is a portrait of John Tyler,
who served as Governor of Virginia, U.S. Senator from Virginia, Vice
President, and President of the United States. Tyler was the first man to
become president due to the death of the elected president and his detrac-
tors dubbed him “His Accidency” as a result. This piece displays even cir-
culation with a bright overprint, bold signatures and no real detractions.
PMG mentions “minor rust” which is nothing but a few speckles on the
right side which are barely visible. If rarity and desirability are any guide,
expect bidding to reach or exceed...

An attractive and expensive to print tricolor note with both red and green

while a boy tends a horse and a slave keeps an eye on other livestock. An
oval female portrait is at left and a rendition of the Virginia state seal is
at right. There is a green TEN protector and two red-orange and black
counters as well as a red-orange anti-alteration block over the signature
lines. This note would have required three separate passes through the

20709 Baraboo, WI - Sauk County Bank $3 18__ G6a Proof PCGS
Gem New 65PPQ.

The trove of Minnesota and Wisconsin proofs that were contained in
the Newman Collection are already legendary. Though proofs from this
bank are known from the Krause-Bookbinder archive and the ABNco.,
the Newman proofs are full gems. A bold and colorful India paper proof
mounted on the original card by Danforth, Wright & Co. of the three $3
proofs confirmed by us, this appears to be the finest. The red lace tint
has darker devices at the upper left and right and a dark red protector
THREE across at the bottom center. The bucolic scene, under the arced
title, shows cows making their way through the water as one stops to
take a drink. A portrait of a woman holding a dove is at lower left. Noted
as “Hole Punch Cancelled” and “Mounted on Cardstock” as made. The
denomination was missing from the Krause Collection. A Gem proof and
desirable $3 denomination from that set. Last sold in our Newman Part

20710 Elk Horn, WI - Elk Horn Bank $1 18 __ G2a Proof PCGS
Choice New 63, 4 POCs.

A bank we had never before offered until we auctioned the Eric Newman
Collection. The town’s emblem of the elk’s head is featured prominently
at top center. This Proof has four small punch out cancels along the signa-
ture lines that removed the paper of the note, but left the cardstock back-
ing undisturbed.

Starting Bid: $625

20711 Madison, WI - Bank of the West $1 18__ G2 Proof PCGS Gem
New 66PPQ POCs.

A dynamic layout was engraved by Wellstood, Hank, Hay & Whiting
for this India paper proof pedigreed to the Newman Collection. This is
one of the great Obsolete banknote titles, and it is rarely encountered.
Except for the archived proofs at the Wisconsin Historical Society, proofs
from the bank were not confirmed in collections until the 1994 St. Louis
Smythe Sale. Besides those former Ford proofs, the Newman examples
are the only ones in private hands. Thoughtfully designed. A trio of men
embodying three professions stands at right, under the end of the curv-
ing title and the ONE counter. The blacksmith rests one hand on an anvil
while the other is tucked inside his shirt, in the manner of Napoleon; the
farmer holds ears of corn and a scythe; and the sailor leans on a capstan
as he points to a ship at sail. A male portrait is in the left end. Of the two
Newman proofs, this by far the finer and a full Gem - clearly the finest
known of three confirmed examples. Noted as “Hole Punch Cancelled” as
made. Last sold in our Newman Part VII sale for $1,292.50. It is certainly
worthy of approaching or exceeding that this evening.

20712 Milwaukee, WI - Bank of Milwaukee (2nd) $1 Jan. 2, 1855 G2
Proof PCGS Very Choice New 64.

This is from a very rare and important series featuring the Santa Claus
Type IV type on the $5 denomination; a highlight from this collection
and following here. There were only two $1 examples on the Newman
Collection proof sheet this originally came from. The other example was
finer, but realized $3,995 in our Newman Part VI sale. The first Bank of
Milwaukee was from the Territorial period and did not officially emit
notes due to conflicts among internal officers, but it did prepare proofs
and remainders from different series. The second Bank of Milwaukee,
from the 1850s, issued notes from several sub-series of increasing capi-
talizations (from $50,000 to $300,000) and shortly thereafter became
the National Exchange Bank of Milwaukee (Charter #1003, which issued
Original Series to Small Size notes). Issued notes from this bank are
exceedingly rare. Proofs are extremely rare and this is a choice example.
Engraved and printed by Toppan, Carpenter & Co., New York & Phila.,
from a $1-$1-$2-$5 sheet configuration, on India paper mounted on
cardstock. At the top center are three sea nymphs, two sporting pearl
adornments, holding an angel aloft as they swim about. At the lower left
is a Continental soldiers’ encampment. “Hole Punch Cancelled” as made
and through the India paper and card. This is a very bold impression with
nearly perfect margins. A superbly vignetted type and rarity.

20713 Milwaukee, WI - Bank of Milwaukee (2nd) $5 Jan. 2, 1855 G6 Proof PCGS Gem New 66PPQ.

Once again, another epic Obsolete Banknote proof we are honored to catalog and offer to the collecting community this evening. For multiple decades
it resided in the Eric P. Newman cabinet and was first made available in our Newman Part VI sale in April 2015 where it achieved $30,550. That tied it
for the second most expensive Obsolete Banknote in that landmark sale. It certainly speaks volumes at first, second, third, and every glance as one of the
great notes from the Obsolete Note canon. Like the $1 proof in this sale, it is from a very rare and important series and features the Santa Claus Type IV.
At the upper left is the Santa Claus Type IV vignette as classified by Roger H. Durand. Though unsigned, the artist is considered either John W. Casilear
or Nathaniel Jocelyn. St. Nick enters the room with a basket of toys strapped to his back. Holding a doll in his hand, he seems pleased not to have awak-
ened the children snug in their bed. While perhaps not quite the jovial spirit observed on the George Baldwin Type III vignette (such as used on the
Conway Bank $20) it does not reflect the stern character of the RWHE pair of vignette types, Durand Types I and II, used on the St. Nicholas Bank (like
those in this sale) and others. The light and shadow used on this iconic image is outstanding. Right of center is the title with a tall gray “5” underneath.
At lower right is a detailed facing portrait of a woman, her hair and dress adorned with flowers. This is the Durand Santa Claus book plate note. The
three Santa Claus Type IV notes we have observed vary in some way. The Géd $5 in the Krause Part I sale sold for $19,550 in October 2009 was signed
and issued. The Roger H. Durand Type IV was a bond paper Specimen, Géd, and was sold by us in the Durand Santa note collection in January 2012
for $23,000. Bold; virtually as it was made. Printed on India paper mounted on cardstock, the note was prepared at Toppan, Carpenter & Co and is cited
as Hole Punch Cancelled like most proofs. Included with the note is a green inked die proof vignette of the rare vignette. This G6 proof type, without
protector, is unique in private hands to the best of our knowledge. This collection of Santa Claus vignetted notes is one of the finest typesets ever formed,
replete with the finest pedigrees, and features this virtually impossible to obtain type. Notes such as this are always impossible to estimate perfectly. The
next curator of this treasure will have a priceless American currency note that mere money cannot replace. (Total: 2 notes)

no description available, in both references. These discrepancies plus the no description available comment, only back up the rarity of this uncut sheet.

A Brief History of the Origin of Postage Envelopes

ostage envelopes came into being as a “money of necessity” at the same time and for the same reasons as

Encased Postage and Fractional Currency. Shortly after the beginning of the Civil War in the spring of 1861, a

shortage of small change began to develop. As it became apparent that the Civil War was going to be far more
drawn out than originally thought, there was a very real possibility of financial insolvency for both sides. Fearing the
worst, people did their best to conserve their resources to guard against that dark day of financial crisis. Coins were
hoarded, and gold and silver coins began to command a premium in relation to paper money. In early 1862, most paper
currency in circulation comprised the issues of state chartered banks and the early Federal notes that first appeared
in 1861. By early February of 1862, specie brokers were quoting a premium of 4 %4% for gold and silver. By June, the
premium had doubled approaching 10%. As the gap in value between coins and paper currency escalated, not only
the gold and silver coins, but ultimately even the copper nickel cents disappeared from circulation. Almost overnight,
$25,000,000 in small change left the channels of commerce. Although many people had coins stashed away, they were
reluctant to spend them even at the advanced price they were bringing in the marketplace as they were afraid that
additional inflation would drive the coin’s value even higher and they would lose out. Public hoarding of small change
reached overwhelming proportions. Even in our increasingly cashless society we can well imagine the confusion in our
lives that would result without small change. In 1862, it was far worse. Prices were a fraction of what they are today.
Three cents bought a newspaper or a stage ride. Five cents would buy a glass of beer. Even a meal for several people
was less than a dollar. The public turned to the only generally available medium at hand and began to use postage
stamps for small change. Merchants were willing to accept them rather than to do no business at all due to the fact
that they could not make change. The very predictable result was that there was a run on stamps at the post offices.
Moving from hand to hand in the marketplace, sticky, perforated edge, gum-backed stamps soon became soiled, stuck
to each other, and became useless as postage as well as highly inconvenient as small change. Businesses produced and
distributed cardboard chits, merchant IOU’s began to circulate locally as currency, and all manner of tokens and scrip
appeared. One of the interim solutions to the gooey mass of damp circulating stamps was small envelopes used to keep
the stamps fresh. Printers began selling these envelopes with pre-printed denominations on the outside. Merchants
who saw these envelopes soon latched on to the idea of having their own envelopes printed advertising their businesses
and supplying a short term cure to the small change crisis. The spectacular collection below vividly displays one of the
solutions to the problems of the summer of 1862.

20722 Thomas Richardson 66 Maiden Lane, cor. William St. N.Y. 25
(Cent). PE595. Extremely Fine.

An extremely rare envelope in very nice condition. It is unique to our
best knowledge. When we first saw this piece in 2007 (it was offered else-
where as part of the extremely large western dealer’s inventory), we had
no idea it existed and have not seen another in the intervening 13 years.
It’s printed in black on buff paper (called orange) in Friedberg. Only this
single variety is listed in Friedberg and it is one of just a few that are not
illustrated. Seven different fonts were used on this very busy envelope.
We are told what he is selling, where he is selling it and two additional
lines telling us more about what he is selling, including “Dunlop’s XX and
India Pale Ale on Draught.” The face is completely defect-free. The back
shows minor traces of previous mounting in the corners. Wholly intact,
including its flap and much taller than the typical envelope. A treasure
for the serious collector. These are fascinating and historic relics of the
small change crisis in 1862.

Not represented in our Spring 2015 auction where we sold our largest col-

on yellow paper. Essentially perfect, except for its missing flap. Unlike
many, the missing flap has not taken any of the face with it and left a
rough edge as is often seen. This one appears to have been carefully cut
off as about 1/16 of an inch remains and it was done with an obviously

20732 New York Weekly Express Newspaper Saturday Evening
September 12, 1840.

What makes this almost 180 year old newspaper so special is the drawing
of an 1840 $50 Treasury Note which is a Hessler X99A. At top far left is a
small article about the new Treasury Notes. One comment stated, “Mr.
(Martin) Van Buren came into power on “Eagles” and “Yellow Boys,’ and
he leaves us Treasury Paper, created under his own administration, by
his own desire!” “Eagles” and “Yellow Boys” are monikers for gold coins.
The dimensions of this newspaper are approximately 23 by 27.5 inches.
The note drawing measures approximately 8 by 4 inches. We have never
auctioned an example of a Hessler X99A. This four page newspaper is not
graded and it does have a few holes and edge wear, but the drawing of the
note has avoided these mishaps. At upper right is an oval rubber stamp-
ing that reads, “James Wright Brown Journalistic Collection.” There will
be no returns on this lot for any reason.

20733 January 1, 1789 edition of the Independent Chronicle and the
Universal Advertiser with numismatic content.

Page two of this large format Boston newspaper has an interesting article
regarding a controversy surrounding the famous “Continental Currency
Dollar” coins. The writer of the article says that a report that appeared
in Bishop Watson’s Chemical Essays (Volume 4, page 136) regarding the
weight of certain Continental Currency Dollars whose composition was
pewter is incorrect. The article goes on to say that the coin examined
was probably a “workman’s amusement” whose design was copied from
Continental notes that were available and then either struck from a set
of dies or cast. It seems that it must have been a slow news day. The paper
itself is in decent condition with lots of edge tears, chips, and frays but is
remarkably intact given its size and age.

20734 Philadelphia Inquirer September 17, 1861 Edition - Three Year
7.3% $100 note (Fr. 208) Introduced Very Fine.

With the Civil War just over five months old, the front page of the
September 17, 1861 edition of the Philadelphia Inquirer was full of war
news, including the latest news from Missouri, Maryland, and a number
of other hot spots. But the big “above the fold” story was the introduc-
tion of the new three year 7.30% $100 interest bearing note that we know
today as Fr. 208. The article goes into some detail covering the design
features of this note and how interest was to be paid. The story also indi-
cated that the new $5, $10, and $20 demand notes had been released but
had not yet fully reached the normal channels of general circulation. The
large 10-5/8” x 3-3/4” illustration of the note gave readers a really good
idea of what the note would look like. The newspaper is in excellent con-
dition with no stains or major tears. The note image itself is completely
pristine. On the back page, Jay Cooke & Co. was already advertising that
it was accepting subscriptions for the new 7.30% notes. Since there are no
known fully intact issued examples and only a few proofs, this newspaper
would make a really neat addition to any collection that includes the early
Civil War era federal notes.

20746 Series 541 $5 PCGS Very Choice New 64PPQ.

The key piece for the entire regular note MPC collecting field is in this lot. The color is excellent and the note has premium paper quality. Margins on
both sides of this $5 show seldom seen MPC paper guide line markers. We first offered this note in September, 2011 where it realized $7,475. This is the
highest graded example to participate in any of our auctions with its nearest competitor being a PMG AU 55 note. Look for our current offering to take a
serious run at the earlier amount.

Se pa ana peg demged act he be
_ epi Sc aw eens ms me es The cash was stored from 1934 to the 1990s in the bank

Cosi a box for Hyman S. Lebman’s business. Hymie Lebman

was an accomplished tradesman from San Antonio,

specializing in leather works and gunsmithing. His store operated for over six decades at 111 S. Flores,
less than a mile from the famed Alamo Mission. His saddles, belts, and gun holsters are prized by
collectors for their high quality and artistry. But the Lebman name carried a decidedly different
association for federal law enforcement officials tracking Public Enemy Number One, the notorious

gangster Baby Face Nelson.

During that Golden Age of gangsterdom that flourished in the decade leading up to the Second World
War, Lebman’s San Antonio hometown had gained a well-deserved reputation as an organized crime
laundromat for stolen cash, its banks amenable to those transactions requiring a unique standard of
discretion. Lebman, meanwhile, had come to the attention of those criminal enterprises as a man
expert in the modification of firearms in an age when the infamous Thompson Machine Gun turned

automatic weaponry into an essential tool of the trade.

The most famous, by far, of Mr. Lebman’s personal creations, resides for eternity in the FBI Museum,

a 1911 Colt .38 Special handgun modified with a forward grip, an extended magazine and, most

importantly, fully-automatic firing capabilities. The weapon's serial number tracks its history through
Lebman’s shop to Nelson’s hands and the rain of fire on federal officers raiding the Little Bohemia Lodge

in northern Wisconsin in April 1934, one of the most notorious gun battles of the decade.

This paper trail to Lebman resulted in the shock of the gunsmith’s life when federal agents raided his
shop, as he professed ignorance to the identity of his client. Nonetheless, Lebman would be sentenced to
five years in the Texas State Penitentiary for violations of the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934 and

the Texas State Machine Gun Law, but these convictions were ultimately reversed on appeal.

Lebman’s son Marvin granted an interview to Man At Arms magazine in 2009, saying of his father, “He
told me many stories about the customers who he later found out were
John Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson. He thought they were charming,
wealthy oil men who were interested in guns, and even invited them to his
house for his wife to make them dinner when I was about 3 or 4. Our shop
had a firing range in the basement, and when he was experimenting with
a Model 1911 on full automatic, the 3rd or 4th round went off directly

overhead, through the floor, and I was visiting above at the time. It scared

him so much that he invented and installed a compensator on the muzzle

to control the recoil.”

This weapons transaction in the waning days of November 1933 came just a month after Nelson and
his gang famously held up the First National Bank of Brainerd, Minnesota on October 23rd, making off
with some $32,000 in cash. After days on the lamb—carousing and gambling among the underworld
characters of Minneapolis-St. Paul, the robbers would flee the area, heading south to Texas with their ill-
gotten gains, anxious to launder the cash and secure an arsenal for future crimes. It's hard not to imagine
that the Minnesota bills in Lebman’s lock box found their way to San Antonio by way of the Nelson

gang's infamous southbound journey.

It is particularly intriguing that Lebman’s hidden treasure was transported to the Heritage offices
in a $1,000 bank bag from the Commercial National Bank of San Antonio, with many of the $100
denomination notes wrapped in bank straps bearing its name despite the fact that no notes issued by the
bank appear in the hoard. That particular financial institution was well known to cops and robbers alike

for its participation in the laundering of illicit, underworld cash.

In the same month that the Nelson and his gang were operating in San Antonio, the FBI came down on

Z.D. Bonner, President of the Commercial National Bank and attorney John H. Cunningham. They were

arrested on December 21, in connection with a brazen daytime mail robbery a year earlier. The

December 6, 1932 robbery netted a Chicago gang $250,000, mostly in government bonds.

At the time of their arrest, Bonner and Cunningham were in possession of $75,000 worth of the
bonds traced to the Chicago robbery, $47,100 of which was in bank boxes in the Commercial
National Bank. During their trial, prosecutors brought evidence forward that even more United
States Bonds from a large heist in New York were also washed through the San Antonio bank,
and more from mail heists in Minneapolis. A total of five separate offences of embezzlement were

brought against the pair.

In a summary of Bonner v. United States, the manner in which the bonds were embezzled is made
clear, “Appellants agree that on March 1 Cunningham and Morrow came to the bank and before the
first bond was delivered Bonner had the cashier make out a bank draft on a branch Federal Reserve
Bank in San Antonio for $100,000, and that amount of money was delivered to Bonner by the cashier
in the presence of Cunningham and Morrow. After this was done Bonner sent the bond over to the
Federal Reserve and borrowed $100,000 on it. The other bonds were handled in practically the same
way, except that the drafts on the Federal Reserve were for $92,500 each, although the full amount of
$100,000 was borrowed on each. The cash proceeds of each draft were taken in $50 and $100 bills.”
They further elaborated on the operation, “During these several bond transactions, Bonner and

Cunningham each placed in safety deposit boxes over $30,000 in $50 and $100 bills.”

The Chicago and Minneapolis robberies were later
connected to Roger “Tommy” Touhy, who was using
Bonner, Cunningham and the Commercial National
Bank of San Antonio to help launder his cash and bonds.
It was under Touhy’s tutelage that Baby Face Nelson got
his start. After a troublesome adolescence, Nelson was
hired by Touhy to help guard liquor shipments in San

Francisco.

As the heat of the San Antonio investigations intensified,
Lebman supplied the Feds with whatever details he could,
short of the existence of this far-flung cash hoard. Just
before he was executed in Ohio in 1934, Harry Pierpont,
who was said to be Dillinger’s mentor, insisted that it was
Lebman’s testimony that had brought the gang down. On
November 27, 1934, Baby Face Nelson was killed by federal
agents in Langendorf Park, in what was dubbed the Battle of

Barrington (Illinois).

single note in the group was from series or banknote deliveries that could have fallen after 1934. Most

not the case here.

The first ever offering of Fr. 2100-K* 1928 Dallas $50 is featured in our Platinum Night Session
tomorrow night. The first small size National Bank Note from Moore, Texas was also buried in this

Dallas, and a Type I from Vermont. More notes are classified as scarce, and some are common in
comparison to normal notes absent the pedigree. Each of the notes traced to Nelson will be offered

21031 Fr. 1525% $5 1928 Legal Tender Note. PMG Choice
Uncirculated 63 EPQ.

Great color, deep embossing, and bright paper are some of the com-
ponents that allow this scarce early Legal Tender star note to attain its
grade. A bit better centering and it could have achieved Gem status.
This delightful Star note was squirrelled into a very large group of $5
Legal Tenders, which will be offered in groups in our online session on
Monday.

21032 Las Cruces, NM - $10 1929 Ty. 1 The First National Bank Ch. #
7720 PMG Very Fine 20.

A great new discovery from this rare one bank location that is only the
eighth small size to be reported and the first piece to cross the auction
block since 2008. While it survived the note-issuing era, examples from
this charter are tough to locate as the bank maintained a circulation level
of a mere $12,500. This is an evenly circulated note that is identical in
grade to a specimen we sold in our last Long Beach auction for $1,500.

A moderately circulated quartet of small size nationals from The Sooner
State comprise this lot from the Cash Hoard. An examination of the
lots in this major hoard reveals that they are mostly made up of the $5
denomination or the high denominations. Fives were convenient for
spending money while $50s and $100s were an easily way to store a con-
siderable amount of cash. One of the $50s in this lot has a couple of rust
stains while the other has a small ink mark.

An attractive example of this very scarce type and denomination from
this late chartering Dallas bank that shows even wear and solid paper.
The last example of this Type 2 $100 from this bank was a PMG Very Fine
30, which realized more than $1,600, just months ago. A little more than
four dozen Type 2 $100s are known from all Texas banks combined, so it
is a nice state rarity that is offered as part of such a historic hoard.

Moore, TX - $5 1929 Ty. 1 The Moore National Bank Ch. # 8817 PMG Very Fine 20.

A great new discovery from the sole bank to issue in this tiny Frio County location that is the first small size to be reported from this charter. As the
bank liquidated just before Christmas in 1930, it was only able to issue a mere handful of Series 1929 notes for a bit more than a year, none of which had
surfaced until recently. Even wear and solid margins are the traits of this pleasing $5 that is destined to reside in a great collection of Texas small size

notes.

A lightly circulated and well margined small size $100 from this Lamar
County bank. President R.F. Scott (1848-1932) built the finest house in

Five different San Antonio banks that issued small size nationals are
found in this lot. Lebman’s business was located in San Antonio, which
explains the concentration of such notes. While some would excuse the
existence of such duplication, it is one more facet solidifying an incredible
timeline of 20th century history. Each note shows moderate wear with
three examples having a minor flaw described on their PMG holders.

Vergennes Ch. # 1364 PMG Very Fine 25.

According to the National Currency Foundation census, only thirteen
1929 Type 1 $100s are known from Vermont. Type 2’s were never issued
making the denomination a scarce and desirable type for Vermont spe-
cialists. This newly surfaced piece is from a shipment of just 44 sheets
of $100s to this bank and is a solid mid-grade example with just honest
wear. The rarity of this small size denomination from Vermont has not
been lost on collectors, with the last example from this bank realizing
more than $4,000 back in 2001. A closer look at auction records, show just
six public sales records since 1986, with offering of a NB of Middlebury
$100 in our 2010 ANA Auction. The rarity combined with pedigree will
make this one of the stars from the Lebman Hoard this evening.

21074 Auburn, AL - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 609 The First National Bank Ch. # 12455 PMG Very Fine 30.

A wonderful Alabama rarity that was last on the market in our sale of the Kennedy holdings in 2004. It is one of just two large notes known from this
rare one bank location and easily the finer of the pair. The other known large was part of the Loegler collection sold in 2003 and has not been seen since.
Don't look for more large examples from here, as the bank had just $435 outstanding in 1935. It is a bright and attractive piece with excellent color and
solid paper. Another great note for the Alabama specialist or anyone who appreciates (and can afford) rare Nationals.

21075 Birmingham, AL - $1 Original Fr. 382 The National Bank of Birmingham Ch. # 2065 PMG Very Fine 25.

An excessively rare note as this one of only five aces reported for all banks combined in the state of Alabama. It is also easily the finest of that quintet as
none of the other known pieces grade above Very Good-Fine, according to the National Currency Foundation census. As a bonus, it also comes from a
very rare First Charter-only bank and it is one of only two notes reported from the bank. This is a very pretty note that certainly looks even nicer than
its assigned grade and features ample margins all around, sharp ink colors, and delicate pen signatures. A couple of unobtrusive edge splits have been
mentioned by PMG but they truly affect nothing. In its last auction appearance in 2012, this great Alabama rarity brought $12,650 and should certainly

approach or even exceed that number again this evening.

21076 Brantley, AL - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 625 The First National
Bank Ch. # (S)7991 PMG Fine 12.

One of the rarest banks in the state, with four large examples making
up the complete census, as no small notes have been reported from this
location. That scant total includes this $10 Plain Back that was once
part of the Frank Kennedy collection and which has been off the market
since we sold it in January 2004. Since this Crenshaw County issuer was
closed by the receiver in 1930 leaving a mere $12,500 outstanding, it is not
likely that many more survivors will be reported. It is a circulated but still
attractive note with just a negligible repair.

just plenty of honest wear. A great note for the Alabama specialist.

21078 Coffee Springs, AL - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 606 The First National Bank Ch. # 11259 PMG Choice Fine 15.

This piece is making its first auction appearance since it last sold as part of Jerry Loegler’s Alabama collection in April of 2003. It was cataloged as unique
then, and it remains unique for both the bank and the town seventeen years later. This community was one of the smallest in the state to host a National
Bank, as the population shrank from just over 500 in 1910 to just over 300 in 1920, leveling off at a mere 258 by the time the bank closed in 1930. The
town’s unusual name has nothing to do with the similarly titled beverage, as it was named in honor of General John Coffee, a commanding officer in the
Creek War of 1813-1814 who camped by the springs during his campaign through Alabama. Any estimate here is simply a surmise, as unique notes are
notoriously difficult to value, but rarity alone suggests a figure in the range of...

A truly rare Alabama note, with this example one of only three large
notes extant from this one bank location. With just $620 outstanding in
1935, it is not likely that many more will surface from this charter. It is
the only one of the trio to make a public appearance in over fifteen years,
last selling in our 2011 Central States auction for $4,312.50. Displaying
nice color, even wear, and original surfaces, this tough Alabama note

An excessively rare Alabama note, with this offering one of only three
large notes extant from this one bank location and the finest of that trio.
It features solid paper, sharp ink colors, and bold signatures, one hand-
written and one stamped. Its only flaw is a few flecks of paper clip rust
which are mentioned for cataloging accuracy. In 2011, we sold a lower
grade piece for over $4,000 and, tonight, this pleasing mid-grade $20
should approach that level.

opportunity for collectors to acquire a nice example of this tough type
from a Southern state for a less than prohibitive price. This $10, which we

21086 Geneva, AL - $10 1882 Brown Back Fr. 490 The First National Bank Ch. # (S)5714 PMG Choice Very Fine 35.

A very rare bank which issued Brown Backs and Second Charter Date Backs only before liquidating in 1909. Only four notes are known from here, two
of which we are privileged to offer in this evening’s session. The first example, which we sold in our offering of the Frank Kennedy collection in our 2004
FUN auction, is a lovely $10 Brown Back which exudes eye appeal, with bright paper and ink and wonderful two color pen signatures. It’s cut a bit close
at the bottom right, as are all of the notes we've seen from here, but this is the most minor of defects on an example of this quality. A great Alabama rarity
fit for the finest of collections.

Another attractive note from this downright rare Geneva bank, this one also a $10 Brown Back and, amazingly enough, a sheetmate to the previous lot.
The other piece occupied the “C” position while this example is from the “A” position. Last on the market in the sale of the Jerry Loegler collection in
2003 (who, incidentally, had acquired the note from Allen Mincho in 1985), it is just about as nice as the previous lot with vibrant color and bold signa-
tures, one handwritten and one stamped. PMG has noted a minor restoration which affects nothing on this beautiful note. If you missed out on the pre-
vious lot, here’s another chance to acquire a great note from this very tough bank.

A great Alabama note from a bank which issued Second Charter examples only before liquidating in May of 1909. Four notes, all Brown Backs, are
known, with this piece the finest of the group by a considerable margin. This example displays bright paper, a bold overprint, and clear pen signatures.
It’s nice enough so that it appears to be fully uncirculated through the PCGS holder, and comes with pedigrees ranging from pioneer collector and dealer

William Philpott to the Anderson Collection.

Bank Ch. # 10307 PMG Choice Fine 15.

A great Alabama rarity that validates the adage that opportunity can be
even rarer than the note. This offering is from the rarer of Geneva’s two
national banks (if the other bank can be considered “common” with four
notes in its census). It was only in business from 1912 until the receiver
shut the doors in 1933. To date, only three large size notes (and no small)
has surfaced from here but, more importantly, this offering is the only
one of that trio to have ever appeared at public sale in any venue. That
lone appearance was in the sale of the Loegler collection in 2003 indi-
cating that the other two known specimens are in very strong hands.
Displaying even wear and bold stamped signatures, it may be many years
before another opportunity arises to acquire this tough charter.

A great note from this excessively rare Henry County bank that operated
in the southeastern corner of Alabama. Chartered in 1933 as a successor
bank to the First National which was forced to close its doors during the
Great Depression, this new charter was only able to issue a small quantity
of Type Two notes before the end of the National Bank Note era in 1935.
To date, a mere three pieces have been reported including this example
which was last sold at auction in 2003. It does have a large tear but retains
bright paper and nice ink colors.

Another great Alabama rarity that is making its first public appearance since our sale of the Frank Kennedy collection in 2004. Like many banks in rural
Alabama, this institution, the only issuer in this community, went from thinly capitalized but surviving to out of business within a year after the Great
Depression hit. To date, just three large (and one small) are recorded extant from here. The unique small size last appeared in our 2015 FUN auction
where it fetched a strong $12,925. Of the three known large, none have made an appearance since we sold this offering sixteen years ago. This is a pleas-
ing, evenly circulated example with green pen signatures of W.B. Pope and J.C. Ford. This may well be the final opportunity for many years to own any
note from this location, so expect bidding to be fierce before the hammer falls on this lot tonight.

This lovely Alaska Red Seal comes from one of the early great discoveries of National Bank Notes, the appearance of five uncut sheets of Alaska Red Seals
in the hands of Kansas dealer Joe Welles at the 1966 Central States show. Four of the sheets were sold at that event (for $1,000 each), with the fifth being
retained by Welles and later sold to John J. Ford. This example is from one of those sheets, and it is a lovely note that has managed to avoid the handling
encountered on many of the known pieces. At our Central States auction in 2018 we sold a PCGS Choice New 63PPQ example for $28,800 and certainly
expect this crisp specimen to exceed that number tonight.

21103 Fairbanks, AK - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 598 First National Bank Ch. # 7718 PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ.

A simply fantastic Alaska Blue Seal which is the only large size Alaska note to receive a grade of Gem Uncirculated from either grading service. Although
long listed in the census, this piece has been off the market since it made a lone appearance in a 1969 auction, where it was graded, in the custom of the
time, as “Crisp Uncirculated.” It is certainly that, with a vivid blue overprint, sharp pen signatures, and bold embossing, which PMG endorses with its
comments “Exceptional Paper Quality & Embossing.” Although more than a few Red Seals from this bank are known in uncirculated grade, Blue Seals
from this bank, with the singular exception of the uncut sheet now ensconced in the ANA museum, are well nigh impossible to locate in better than Very
Fine, with even those appearances few and very far between. We would not be at all surprised to see our estimate surpassed early in the bidding on this
incredible Alaska rarity.

specimen a full grade lower. Type 2 notes of any denomination from this bank are just plain rare, with only one having been offered since 1998, so expect
to see some spirited bidding before the hammer falls on this new to the market example this evening.

21108 Florence, AZ - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 632 The First National
Bank Ch. # (P)10998 PMG Very Good 10 Net.

Florence is the site of the state prison complex, and has been since
Territorial days. At the time of issue, this town claimed around 1,200
residents who were not behind bars. According to the latest census infor-
mation, eight notes are known from this one bank community, which
dates its existence to Territorial days. That scant total includes this rather
rough example that is crossing the auction block for the first time. It has
some tape repairs and writing on its back but, nonetheless, represents a
very tough Arizona bank.

A rare bank from this avidly collected state with this piece one of less
than a dozen large size in the census. The Nogales NB was the second of
two issuers to operate in this southern Arizona locale. Overall, it was a
rather short-lived venture as the bank opened in 1917 and failed in 1931.
This note, which is crossing the auction block for the first time since
1993, is a pleasing mid-grade example that managed to avoid acquiring
any impairments during its time in circulation.

The Tempe National Bank was the lone issuer in this tiny town that

The most recent National Bank Note census shows just seven large size uncut sheets known from all banks in Arkansas combined. Two are from
Batesville, four from Siloam Springs, and one from Stuttgart. This sheet is one of the nicest from the state, having been graded About Uncirculated 55
by PMG. The selvage is full on the top and bottom, and the sheet is as attractive as it is rare. So few large size Arkansas uncut sheets are known that any

Woods-Tate signature combination. Four uncut sheets are known
from this bank. One sold in a 1977 Hickman-Oakes sale and has
never reappeared, while the other three all were sold within a three
month period back in 2010, with this the first time any has been
available to collectors since. PMG has graded this lovely sheet About
Uncirculated 55, and may have been conservative, as the paper
is bright white, the embossing pronounced, the signatures a bold

County hamlet, elected to issue only Series 1929 examples. To date, just
three examples have been reported from here, including this offering,
which is the first note we have been able to offer in ten years. It is a bright,
well margined note that is easily the finest of the three in the census. We

New 66PPQ.

A gorgeous occupational bank title note that was once part of a small
group of Type 2 $5s from this avidly collected bank that has long since
been dispersed. It is by far the finest of that small group that we have
ever seen or handled. While most of the known notes display crackling
fresh paper and solid embossing, they usually have centering issues which
preclude consideration of a Gem grade. That is not the case for this lovely
example that has four wide margins and virtually perfect centering.

Large notes only from this just plain rare San Bernardino County bank that was only in business from 1912 until 1929. This offering is one of just six
pieces in the census and it’s quite an attractive note with a nicer appearance than its assigned grade. It displays bright paper, sharp ink colors, and even
wear. In our last Long Beach auction, we sold a PMG Very Fine 20 specimen for $5,520 and expect this clearly superior note to certainly exceed that num-
ber. As a bonus, included with the lot are two postcard views of the bank’s building.

One of a paltry six documented on this rare large size only issuer, and specifically, this is the only $20 amongst that half dozen. Charter
number 10271 was in existence from 1912 to 1929, when it was absorbed by charter number 13044. This is the first auction appearance for
this note. It is in a comment free PMG holder and comes with two post cards of different views of Sixth Street with the bank building vis-

pieces are reported from here, a $20 Plain Back that we sold last year for $6,000, and this $10 Plain Back that was part of the Charley Colver collection
that we sold twenty years ago. It has seen its share of circulation and has had some minor repairs but it maintains an overall pleasing appearance with
nice color and signatures. It provides another opportunity for the disappointed underbidders from our 2018 FUN auction to acquire this excessively rare
charter. Also included with the lot is a plethora of related material including three postcard views of the bank and two cancelled checks from 1919.

A great California rarity from one of the toughest locations in the Golden State from which to obtain a National Bank Note of any kind. This obscure
location in rural Tulare County was the host to two short-lived note-issuing national banks. The First National, which was only in business from 1905
until 1923, and the Lindsay National which was only around from 1910 until 1922. The Lindsay National is represented by just a single note in the census
which has never been publicly offered while the First National has a mere two pieces reported. Of those two notes, one has never made a public appear-
ance while the other known specimen, which we are offering this evening, last crossed the auction block in John Hickman’s sale of the Philip Krakover
collection in March of 1990. Representing a town that eluded most of the major California collectors, including Colver, Horwedel, and many others, this
piece is a pleasing mid-grade example that exhibits even wear, nice color, and legible stamped signatures. With no other offerings since 1990, it may be
many years before any opportunity arises to obtain a note from this very rare California locale.

example displaying just some minor repairs which are typically associ-
ated with these heavily circulated notes. However, the major design ele-
ments remain quite bold and the all-important gold coin vignette on the
back is sharp and bright as well.

This is one of only five $100 Date Backs recorded from this popular San
Francisco bank and the first of that quintet to cross the auction block
since we sold this piece as part of the Lowell Horwedel collection in 2004.

The sole $100 of any type known from this capital city bank that has been
off the market since we sold it as part of the Lowell Horwedel collection

to cross the public auction block in over fifteen years.

An extremely scarce San Diego bank which issued Date Backs and Plain
Backs only before closing its doors forever in March of 1927. Every note
offered from this bank since 1990 has been graded Fine, with all but one
on the low end of that scale. This piece is a refreshing exception, having
been graded Very Fine 30 and residing in a comment free PMG holder.

21155 San Francisco, CA - $5 Original National Gold Bank Note Fr. 1137 The National Gold Bank & Trust Company Ch. # 1994 PMG Very Fine 20
Net.

This bank is many times the rarer of San Francisco's two issuing National Gold Banks, and a bank which is seldom offered in any grade or denomina-
tion, with Heritage, who has sold more National Gold Bank Notes in the past decade than any other auction company, having sold only seven pieces
in all denominations during the past ten years. Only a dozen $5 examples are known from here according to the census, including one piece which is
laminated and several which suffer from serious impairments. This note has benefited from professional restoration, but is bright and most attractive
for its PMG assigned grade of Very Fine 20 Net. In our recently concluded Long Beach auction, a PMG Very Fine 25 $10 realized $43,200, indicating the
demand for high end notes from this bank, and this pleasing specimen should certainly fetch a five figure price, likely in the range of...

it great eye appeal for the grade.

The Farmers National Gold Bank Ch. # 2158 PMG Choice Fine 15.
Although $5 examples from this San Jose National Gold Bank can not
be considered rare, few rise to the level of this Choice Fine 15 example.
Compared to the 127 $5 San Francisco Charter 1741 specimens graded
to date by PMG, only thirteen San Jose fives have passed through PMG’s
doors, with a mere three grading higher than this example. The colors are
bright, the red overprint strong, and the all important gold coin vignette
on the reverse is sharp and clear. PMG does note closed pinholes, but that
detriment is minor and barely visible even under close scrutiny. This note
is considerably nicer than the last Fine 15 example we had to offer, with
that piece, which was repaired, fetching $5,875 three years ago.

defect such as corner folds or bumps, small splits, folds between the notes,
or the like, but this sheet displays not even one minor defect. It is well
margined on both front and back, and appears just as nice as the day it
left the Bureau nearly ninety years ago. We sold this sheet back in 1998 as
part of the Bill Doovas collection and admired it then, and nothing has
occurred to change our minds since.

21162 Stockton, CA - $10 1875 National Gold Bank Note Fr. 1147 The First National Gold Bank Ch. # 2077 PMG Very Fine 20 Net.

A very rare National Gold Bank Note, with the census standing at only eight pieces, one of which is permanently impounded in the holdings of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. This is the first Series 1875 $10 Stockton National Gold Bank Note we have had to offer in ten years, with that piece,
which had been in the Malcolm Trask and Jim O’Neal collections, fetching $19,550 after having been graded by us as Fine+++. The note we offer tonight
has only one prior auction record, with that coming when we sold it to tonight’s consignor in our Orlando auction twenty eight years ago. It’s one of only
four Series 1875 Stockton tens to have been graded by PMG, and it carries the highest grade yet assigned despite the typical restorations that are men-
tioned whenever most National Gold Bank Notes are offered. Look for bidding to reach or exceed...

21164 Woodlake, CA - $10 1902 Date Back Fr. 621 The First National Bank Ch. # (P)10309 PMG Choice Very Fine 35 Net.

The first of two notes we are offering this evening from this excessively rare Tulare County bank. The census has long been restricted to a single large
note and a single large size uncut sheet, with no small examples reported. That sheet has now been cut, and, in our recent Long Beach auction, we
offered both the “A” position $10 and the only $20 known from the bank. Both of those notes, like tonight’s examples, did bear a minor restoration
that is invisible through the holder. In September, the $10 fetched $7,800 and the $20 brought $9,000. Considering the rarity and desirability of great
California material, these two notes should do about the same. The first piece is the “B” position which has great color and signatures along with low
serial number 3.

that we have been able to offer in over twenty years. Well circulated yet
housed in a comment free holder, it still exhibits decent color and legible

the sole charter to operate in this small city near Wilmington before liquidating in 1913. A mere three notes have been reported, two Third Charter Date
Backs and the $10 Brown Back we are offering this evening. Fortuitously, it is also a pleasing mid-grade piece with solid paper for the grade, bold ink col-

Not only is this note fully original and well nigh flawless, it bears serial
number A099999. Just as important, if it can be located, it can be mated
with the note bearing serial number A100000, as the pair came from a
sheet that was cut some years ago.

21186 Chipley, FL - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 624 The First National
Bank Ch. # 7778 PMG Very Fine 20.

This north Florida note comes from a typical small town issuer which
was the sole National Bank chartered in Chipley. Although a dozen large
notes (against just two small) are listed in the census, offerings of any
kind from here have proved to be few and far between over the years. This
is a nice, moderately circulated example with solid paper.

21187 De Funiak Springs, FL - $20 1902 Plain Back Fr. 650 The First

This very tough bank was the only issuer in this rural Walton County
community, and notes from here are just plain difficult to find, particu-
larly in large size. This attractive example, with purple stamped signa-
tures, is one of the better survivors of the ten large in the census.

21189 Graceville, FL - $20 1929 Ty. 1 The First National Bank Ch. #

While large notes from this Jackson County institution are hardly com-
mon, Series 1929 examples are just plain rare, with Track & Price showing
only three such offerings during the past thirty years out of a total census
of a mere five pieces. This offering is one of that quintet and is making its
first public appearance since our 2003 FUN auction. Two years ago, we
sold a PMG Very Fine 20 specimen for $5,875 and this evenly circulated
and problem free $20 could approach that level.

A pen signed beauty which is the first Brown Back of any denomination available at public sale since 2011, when we sold an EF 40 $10 Brown Back for
$29,900. This PMG graded Extremely Fine 45 is the highest grade of any Brown Back from Key West, and by far the nicest $5 example. If rarity, grade
and desirability are any guide, our estimate might well prove conservative on this great note.

The only uncut sheet documented on this late chartered issuing bank and it has serial numbers A007101A-F007101A. We have offered only six different
Series 1929 uncut sheets on the state of Florida dating back to January, 2001. Only three of those have not been serial number 1 uncut sheets. Those three
are the sheet in this lot and two more. Our best comparison with past results is when we auctioned a First NB of Lake City charter number 7540 $5 1929
Type 2 uncut sheet with serials A003793-98 grading PMG Choice AU 58 for $11,500 in January, 2008. Our current offering displays a fold within the
margins between each note from when this sheet was folded down to the size of a single example. In the intervening years, the paper has remained white
and the inks dark, while the bank title embossing is bold.

This is a truly rare note from a bank which has had no offerings at public sale since 2008. This was Milton's only large size issuer, with the census from
here standing at just four large examples, along with three small. However, of those four known large, only one has ever appeared at public sale and that
lone appearance was a PMG Very Good 10 specimen that brought $18,400 in our FUN auction twelve years ago. This piece is new to that listing, and is
a pleasing mid-grade example with bold pen signatures and just a minor repair. If rarity and demand produce their usual results, expect the hammer on

A fantastic new discovery which is being offered to collectors this evening for the first time. It comes from the only bank to issue in rural Bleckley
County, with this institution having closed for good in February of 1916. The census shows one other example extant from this bank, but that listing,
which dates from fifty years ago, lacks both a serial number and a grade and describes a note which has never been seen at public sale. The Red Seal we
offer tonight is pen signed and displays a vivid red overprint. The paper is slightly toned, but the overall appearance is certain to please even the most
fastidious of collectors...and where can another example from this bank be obtained at any price?

21206 Honolulu, HI - $5 1882 Value Back Fr. 574 The First National Bank of Hawaii at Honolulu Ch. # (P)5550 PCGS Choice About New 58PPQ.

A gorgeous $5 Value Back from Hawaii Territory. It’s listed in the census as Choice Uncirculated, and certainly has the appearance of a fully New note
through the holder, but, for whatever reason, the grading service here felt that Choice About New 58PPQ was the correct grade. The Track & Price census
shows only one other $5 Value Back from the Territory of Hawaii that grades as New, with two grading Extremely Fine under the two CU’s. This piece
faces up beautifully, with a vivid blue overprint, bright white paper, full originality, and exceptionally sharp signatures. If you are seeking the finest of
Territorial examples, or just want a single great note from Hawaii Territory, this is something you should seek to bring home this evening.

An absolutely gorgeous serial number 1 example from a state where serial number 1 Series 1929 examples are few and far between. Spokane dealer Paul
Puckett discovered the number 1 $10 sheet sixteen years ago and had it cut immediately after he obtained it, affording six collectors the chance to own a
Coeur D’ Alene number | example. The bottom note had a couple of folds and graded only AU 50, and he kept the top note, selling off the other four in
Heritage sales in 2004 and 2005. This piece, the “B” plate note, is the finest of the four, and the only one to grade Gem New 66 EPQ. All have now been
well dispersed into collections over the years, with the last appearance of any the uncirculated examples coming back in 2011, when the “D” position note
realized $7475. If you are looking for a great Idaho note for your state or type set, here is the perfect opportunity to obtain the very finest of examples.

One of the very nicest things about the currency business is that just when you begin to think that you have seen it all, a note like this pops up and you
realize that you really have not. Your cataloger has now had the privilege of describing all three of the large notes reported from this truly rare Shoshone
County bank, but this is easily the prize that tops the list. Not only is it far higher grade than the other two specimens, it is also a serial number 1 note,
and from the “A” plate as well, making it truly the first note issued by the bank. It is the only serial number 1 note known from this bank, and, according
to the National Bank Note census, one of only two serial 1902 Date Backs known from all Idaho banks combined. Any estimate here for this pen signed
trophy item is simply a guess, but if rarity, grade and demand are any guide, our estimate may well prove conservative.

We have auctioned only two Series 1929 notes on charter number 9293 before tonight. The last piece that we offered graded PMG 64 EPQ and realized
$1,920 at our CSNS 2018 auction. Each nicely preserved example in this lot sports white paper, dark inks, and strong embossing. Five of the notes grade
PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ and the plate letter B piece earned a grade of PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ. A lack of small size notes on this
Edgar County bank can be attributed to the fact that Cashier T.S. Wright and President B.H. Pinnell took this small town institution into receivership in
December, 1930, almost five years before the close of the National Bank Note program. (Total: 6 notes)

we mentioned that is came to us from a descendant of one of the Mattoon
banking families It retains its complete top selvage and was undoubtedly
saved as a treasured souvenir by one of the bank’s officers. It has acquired
a couple of storage folds over the years but, otherwise, it is as fresh and
bright as the day it was signed by the bank’s cashier and vice president.
Also, at that time, it was the first number 1 note, large or small, to surface
from this charter and it still is today.

An excessively rare Jefferson County bank that was only in business
from 1919 until its liquidation in early 1926. To date, just three notes are
recorded in the census including tonight’s offering which is a moderately
circulated $5 that retains sharp ink colors and dark printed signatures. It
faces up quite nicely with some minor splits and staining on its back. In
out 2010 FUN auction, we sold a Very Good specimen from this charter

ing at only six pieces, including this specimen. Track & Price shows only
one large example having been offered during the past decade, with that
piece, a $50 Brown Back, fetching almost $10,000 eight years ago. This
boldly pen signed note is nice for the grade and is certain to please.

A beautifully centered and pack fresh note from this Iowa bank that is
sole Type 2 $5 that has been graded at this lofty level by PMG for the
entire country with none finer. In fact, for both types and all five denomi-
nations of the 1929 Series, PMG has graded just three other notes at this
level with only one piece a single point finer than this beautiful speci-
men. This example, which has received the accolades “Exceptional Paper

once worked as a radio announcer for Station WHO. The Equitable

First Charter note whose only flaw is a few pinholes.

Although Series 1929 examples have been available from this Polk
County bank at fairly regular intervals, large notes are another matter
entirely, with Track & Price revealing the appearance of only one such

PMG mentions, but this Second Charter Date Back is quite attractive for
the grade and bears strong pen signatures.

21238 Dexter, KS - $10 1902 Date Back Fr. 618 The First National
Bank Ch. # (W)9225 PMG About Uncirculated 53.

Under normal circumstances, this would likely be a prohibitively rare
bank, as this institution, the town’s only issuer, was in business for only
six years, issuing a meager total of 434 sheets of 1902 Date Backs during
that time. Due to a fortuitous circumstance, the last seven sheets sent to
the bank were never returned to the Comptroller's office for redemption,
making this one of the very few banks in large size where uncut sheets are
more common than single notes. Track & Price shows no offerings of any
kind from here since 2014. Bright and pen signed, with a minuscule bit of
ink erosion at the cashier's signature.

21241 Parsons, KS - $1 1875 Fr. 383 The First National Bank Ch. # 1951 PCGS Apparent Very Fine 25.

This rare note is, according to the current National Bank Note Census, one of a mere 12 Series 1875 aces known from all banks in the country combined,
and the only example extant from the state of Kansas. Interestingly, the same census reports 82 serial number 1 Original Series aces, indicating that the
glamour of preserving serial number 1 specimens had faded considerably by the time that Series 1875 notes were produced. Also of interest is the grade
spectrum for the known 1875 number 1 aces. While one would expect that most were saved by bank officials, only one of the 12 listed in the census is
reported as uncirculated, with every other representative circulated to some degree. This piece has been off the market since it last was offered in 1999,
having been in the possession of our consignor since that date. PCGS reports some edge restorations, but they are impossible to see through the holder of
this otherwise quite attractive blue end paper example.

Ch. # 1601 PMG Very Good 8.

Not the highest grade note but this is just the second example to be
reported from this excessively rare Boyle County bank that liquidated at
the expiration of its charter in 1885. To date, just one other note is known,
an Original Series $10, that made its last public appearance in our 2006
FUN auction. This offering, an Original Series ace, does have exceptional
color and dark signatures for its grade which was undoubtedly assigned
due to the fact that the note does have some damage in its right margin.
Nonetheless, it remains a very rare note from the Bluegrass State and pro-
vides a seldom-offered opportunity for a collector to add this charter to
their holdings.

A scarcer Baltimore bank which issued Series 1875 and Brown Back notes
only before liquidating late in 1903. Although operations here had ceased
several months earlier, the bank’s former location was destroyed in the
Great Baltimore Fire in 1904. We have always opined that First Charter
twenties are scarce and undervalued, and this is a nice one, with great
color and eye appeal for the grade. PMG notes the signatures have been

census since time immemorial but lacking serial numbers or grade. In
fact, the holder in which this note was consigned to us still retained the
old Donlon catalogue number from the 1970's, showing how long it has
been absent from the market. The note is very attractive, with sharp col-
ors and strong signatures, and appears to have been quite conservatively
graded. Our estimate here is likely conservative as well.

reported, with this by far the finest. It has been off the market since our
consignor obtained it in an auction twenty years ago, and is far nicer than
the last piece sold from this institution, which realized over $7,000 back

This bank was located in the Roxbury section of Boston. Roxbury was
one of the first settlement in the Massachusetts Bay colony, and was an
independent city until it was annexed into the City of Boston in January
of 1868. Despite the loss of Roxbury’s independence, this bank continued
to issue notes using the Roxbury name until 1904, al most forty years
after Roxbury ceased to exist and an independent entity. PMG notes a
“contemporary annotation” on the reverse of this Series 1875 $10.

A very tough note from what is by far the rarest of Haverhill’s seven issu-

the first hundred charters to find, with the census standing at only six pieces, including this example which is making its first public appearance since
it was last offered in a 1973 Lester Merkin sale. It is a pleasing example with good color for the grade with just some minor repairs. The last offering of a

This is one of the scarcest of the First Hundred Charter banks, with this institution issuing First Charters only before liquidating at the expiration of its
charter in 1882. Just six notes are known, with this piece, which traces its pedigree back to Harley Freeman’s collection of First Hundred Charter notes,
easily the finest of the group. As one might expect, offerings from this institution have been infrequent to say the least, with Track & Price reporting the
last coming seven years ago, when we sold a Fine 15 Series 1875 $10 for $8,812.50. This piece, which grades ten points higher and is immeasurably nicer,
will easily see a higher realization.

The Gilmore Sem Collection of Minnesota National Bank Notes

Tonight, we offer Part II of the Gilmore Sem Collection of Minnesota National Bank Notes. Gilmore (Gil) J. Sem
was born in 1941 on his father’s dairy farm in west-central Minnesota. He grew up learning the value of hard work
and being part of the family business. He attended a one-room country school for 8 years, graduated from West
Central School of Agriculture, a boarding high school run by the University of Minnesota in Morris, and went on
to the University of Minnesota where he earned bachelor and master's degrees in mechanical engineering.

He worked over 40 years in various capacities for TSI Inc. whose business mission was to develop, manufacture,
and sell instruments to scientific and technical organizations around the world. As part of his job, he travelled to
Europe, Asia, and much of North America. His name appears on many scientific publications and five patents. He
served as president of American Association for Aerosol Research and was elected AAAR fellow. He is an honor-
ary member of the German scientific aerosol society.

Gil began collecting postage stamps when he was 8 years old. Then in around 1970, he began collecting Morgan
silver dollars. When his collection reached 70 dates/mintmarks, he had to spend more than $1000 to add to the
collection, but could not bring himself to spend that much for a $1 coin that was in circulation when he was a boy.

In June 1985, Kevin Foley spent an hour introducing Gil to paper money at the Indianapolis Coin Show. Gil
bought 3 large type notes from Kevin. Months later, John Hickman introduced Gil to national bank notes. For a
few years, Gil collected Obsolete notes from Minnesota and collaborated with Shawn Hewitt on the Minnesota
Obsolete book published in 2006.

When his NBN collection began, Gil had no intention of competing for the most complete Minnesota collection
(one large and one small note from each charter number and bank title). Such competition was for Mort Melamed
and Bill Higgins. It wasn't until about 15 years ago that it became possible for Gil to dream of such a thing. Before
it was auctioned in August 2010, Melamed ’s collection was the most complete Minnesota collection. Four hours
later, at the end of the auction, both Higgins and Sem had surpassed Melamed. During the past 5 years, few addi-
tions became available. That fact, plus his age, convinced Gil it was time to part with his collection and let others
carry on the important role of preserving these rare notes.

Tonight, we offer perhaps the most prized portion of the collection, the Gil’s Type Set of Minnesota Nationals.
Represented here are nearly every major type issued and available to collectors. As an astute researcher, Gil’s set
includes some of the more minor varieties, including charter number placement, regional sort letters, the so-called
fourth charter 1922 Plate Date notes, and notes with both types of Treasury clauses. After this set is dispersed this
evening, there may never be a more complete set ever assembled. Included here is a grid of all the types for Minne-
sota National Bank Notes. Where a note was present in Gil’s collection, we have included the charter number, city,
and lot number for easy reference. It will likely serve as a guide for many a collector looking to do the same with
their Minnesota National Bank Note Collections.

Gil continues with his primary hobby, family history. He published one book in 2003 about ancestors and descen-

dants of one pair of 4-greats-grandparents. He is about to publish another book about another pair of 4-greats-
agrandparents. He will then have only 30 books to publish to complete the set.

A wonderful serial number 1 note from the only bank to issue in the western Minnesota community that bears one of the greatest town names to be
found on a national. Aside from its status as the first $10 Brown Back issued by the bank, this pretty note has a lot going for it - it is a beautiful piece that
saw only limited circulation and retains excellent color and bold pen signatures. It is also one of just a dozen large size in the census and the only example
of this type and denomination reported. Making its first public appearance since our inaugural November 1990 auction, this is a great Minnesota rar-

ity fit for the finest of collections.

While the census has recorded six notes from this large only Nobles
County bank, most have been closely held for many years in institutional
or long term collections, with only two pieces having been offered at pub-
lic sale since 2002, with the last appearance occurring in 2011. Tonight's
offering is the only $20 Plain Back reported and is crossing the auction
block for the first time. It is a pleasing, moderately circulated note with
nary a problem save honest wear. The last Plain Back from here to be pub-
licly offered realized $4,887.50 in a 2010 auction.

tion but any such repairs have only served to enhance the appearance of

21306 Glencoe, MN - $50 1882 Date Back Fr. 563 The First National Bank Ch. # (M)2571 PMG Choice Fine 15.

One of the highlights of the Gilmore Sem collection offered this evening, this 1882 $50 Date Back is one of just two known examples from Minnesota,
according to the National Currency Foundation census, neither of which has ever appeared at public sale. Just 1,900 examples were issued from just
five banks across the state. Though this piece has sustained moderate circulation, it retains solid paper for the grade with pleasing color and legible sig-
natures. For a rarity comparison for this type, there are only about 221 notes of this denomination known from all banks across the country. This is a
great Minnesota trophy note that has eluded virtually all of this state’s many dedicated collectors.

This lot comprises a moderately circulated quartet of large size Minnesota notes that were part of Gilmore Sem’s Type Set of Minnesota Nationals.
Three of the notes (Morris, Stillwater, Tyler) were specially acquired due to the fact that they each bear a so-called “Fourth Charter” plate date of 1922.
The Hanska and Morris notes are from fairly scarce banks while the Tyler note represents a very rare bank as it is one of only four large size in the
census. The Hanska, Morris, and Stillwater notes are an evenly circulated trio while the Tyler example does have some edge damage and a long tape-
repaired tear.

printing of only 114 sheets of two subject Red Seals, 120 sheets of two subject Date Backs, and 80 sheets of four subject Date Backs, a print run so low
that a large size note from this one-bank community has eluded all of the Minnesota collectors except our consignor. This is a pleasing, evenly circulated
example with attractive color and delicate pen signatures. Another great Minnesota trophy note that will generate serious bidding interest tonight.

A stunning serial number 1 Red Seal from this just plain rare Murray County institution that was the sole issuer in this locale before it liquidated in
1930. One of just six pieces in the census, it is a true miracle of survival as it has been carefully preserved over the years. With the appearance of a note
that was signed this morning, it retains all of its original ink colors, crackling fresh paper, and dark pen signatures. In our 2018 Central States auction,
we sold an “ordinary” Red Seal from this bank that was graded a “mere” PMG Extremely Fine 40 for $6,000. Based upon that track record, this fully
Gem number | note could garner a runaway price. In the meantime, we will estimate this pretty note somewhat conservatively and let the bidders decide

21324 Minneapolis, MN - $5 Original Black Charter Number Fr. 399 The Merchants National Bank Ch. # 1830 PMG Choice Fine 15.

One of the highlights of this wonderful selection of Minnesota nationals we are offering this evening, this is truly one of the greatest notes from
Minnesota to ever cross the auction block. It is the sole Black Charter example known from this bank, and therefore the entire state, as this institution
was the sole Minnesota issuer of these notes, which appear to have been created as a short-lived experiment to test affixing the charter number to each
note, something that was made official policy by the Act of June 30, 1874, which mandated that action on all newly issued notes.

While most of the known Black Charter notes come from a narrow range of bank charters between numbers 2129 and 2142, there are two anomalies to
this generalization with this bank being one of them. This Minnesota variety resulted from a change in the bank’s title on January 8, 1874, from the First
National Bank of Saint Anthony to the Merchants National Bank of Minneapolis. Fortunately, the new $5-$5-$5-$5 plate for this bank was made during
the latter part of the Black Charter experiment.

Tonight's offering is an evenly circulated note with solid paper and, most importantly, its Black Charter overprint, remains quite bold. Any estimate here
is very much a speculative guess, as these are so rare and so seldom offered that it is difficult to even suggest a number, particularly for this note which is
making its first public appearance. However, if demand and scarcity are any indicators, a conservative number would likely be...

A great Minnesota rarity that is the sole reported note from this short-lived Minneapolis bank that was only in business from 1882 until the receiver
closed its doors in 1897. With just $1,295 left outstanding in 1915, it is not likely that any more survivors will surface from here. It has seen its share of
circulation and has had some repairs but, for its grade, its colors remain quite sharp and the officers’ pen signatures are very bold. Any estimate for a
unique note of this caliber is strictly a guess but this rarity should realize in the range of...

21327. Minneapolis, MN - $50 1902 Red Seal Fr. 664 The National Bank of Commerce Ch. # (M)3206 PMG Fine 12.

Tonight, we are pleased to offer two extraordinary Minnesota rarities to the collecting fraternity. Just a total of 6,200 $50 and $100 Red Seals were issued
by five different banks in Minnesota and to date, just one survivor of each of the high denominations has been documented. The lone $50 is being
offered in this lot while the sole known $100 will be offered in the following lot. It is one of just 104 examples of this type and denomination recorded for
the entire country and, while this piece has seen its share of circulation, it still exhibits solid paper, good color, and dark pen signatures. To provide some
guidance in estimating such a unique rarity, a brief perusal of our auctions archives indicates that, in other states, unique $50 Red Seals have sold for
anywhere from $30,000 to over $60,000. We will take the middle ground on our estimate and let the bidders decide.

21328 Minneapolis, MN - $100 1902 Red Seal Fr. 686 The National Bank of Commerce Ch. # (M)3206 PMG Very Fine 25.

Our parade of outstanding Minnesota rarities continues with this $100 Red Seal that is not only one of just 127 examples of this type and denomina-
tion recorded for the entire country, it is the sole example listed as extent from this entire state. As mentioned in the previous lot, it is one of only 6,200
examples issued for Minnesota and the only reported survivor. It is a pleasing, well margined specimen with sharp ink colors and even wear. Its only
flaw (which is mentioned for the sake of cataloging accuracy) is a few closed pinholes which truly affects nothing. As a bonus, it also hails from a rare
Minneapolis bank as it is one of only four pieces in the census from this charter. In its lone auction appearance in 1997, this Minnesota trophy note
fetched all of $6,050. Expect it to do a bit better tonight.

21330 Minneapolis, MN - $10 1902 Date Back Fr. 623 The National City Bank Ch. # (M)10261 PMG Extremely Fine 40.

A great serial number 1 example from one of the rarest and most short-lived Minneapolis banks. Opening in 1912, it issued notes under its first title,
the Commercial NB, for all of two years before changing its title to the National City Bank in May of 1914. Then, just seven months later, the bank liqui-
dated and was absorbed by a neighboring institution. Understandably, notes from this charter are excessively rare with just two pieces known with the
first title and just one example reported with the second title, the specimen we are offering this evening. And what a specimen as it is a most attractive
serial number 1 note with vibrant color and deep, original embossing. It has a few light folds and its top and bottom margins have been cut a bit irregu-

larly but it is a pretty note that obviously never circulated. Another flaming rarity for the Minnesota specialist.

A most attractive $20 Red Seal from this scarce, short-lived Big Stone
County bank that was only in business from 1903 until the receiver
arrived in early 1927. It is one of just three examples of this type recorded
in the census and is making its first public appearance since a 1973
Kagins sale. It is a bright, well embossed piece that is only held back from
a EPQ designation by a stray ink mark on the back. In our 2018 Central

21337 Owatonna, MN - $2 1875 Fr. 390 The Farmers National Bank Ch. # 2122 PMG Very Fine 30.

The Farmers National Bank of Owatonna was chartered in 1873, but did not issue any notes past Series 1875. By 1910, just $1,186 remained outstanding
according to Treasury records. Of that total, about a dozen notes are reported including two Lazy Deuces, with this piece easily the finer of the known
pair. It is a very pretty example with unusually bold ink colors and dark pen signatures. Its margins are almost fully clear of the design and it exhibits no
problems whatsoever.

A lovely note from this scarce Steele County bank that issued First Charters only before it liquidated at the expiration of its charter in 1893. Fortuitously,
two cut sheets of 1875 $5s were set aside for the enjoyment of today’s collectors. This offering is from one of those two sheets and, aside from some minor
handling, is as fresh and bright as the day it was printed. Bold and ornate penned signatures are present, along with a beautiful red overprint.

A classic Minnesota rarity as this is one of only three $100 Brown Backs reported for the entire state. It also represents a scarcer St. Paul bank as well
which has only ten notes in the census. With one of the three known $100s recorded in the census as a mere Good-Very Good, this offering, which
has never appeared at public sale, is easily the second finest of the known trio. It is an unusually well margined specimen with sharp ink color, solid
paper, and bold signatures. Some minor staining has been noted by PMG but that flaw is more than offset by this great note’s rarity and desirabil-
ity. This is another trophy note from this fabulous Minnesota collection we are offering this evening.

An attractive early note from this very scarce Nicollet County bank which is crossing the auction block for the first time. This is a bright and fresh note
with no real evidence of circulation seen through its holder. In fact, it is currently listed in the Track & Price census as Choice CU. In the past two years,
we sold a PMG Very Fine 25 specimen from here for over $3,000 and a PMG About Uncirculated 55 example for $10,200. This attractive offering should

21355 Sauk Centre, MN - $100 1902 Date Back Fr. 689 The First
National Bank Ch. # 3155 PMG Choice Fine 15.

This small Minnesota town was the birthplace of novelist Sinclair Lewis,
whose 1920 novel, Our Town was set in the fictional community of
Gopher Prairie, a not so thinly disguised Sauk Centre. The book’s depic-
tion of small town life was hardly flattering, and for many years Lewis
was persona non grata in his home town, although faded memories and a
desire for the tourist dollar have led to the community honoring its only
famous son in recent years. Tonight's offering is a unique note from the
much rarer of Sauk Centre's two issuers as it is the only large size reported
from this charter and the only $100 Date Back listed in the National
Currency Foundation census.

Opening in 1884, the First National elected to issue only the high denom-
inations starting with the Third Charter Period and continuing until its
liquidation in 1930. To date, just this piece has survived from its large
size emissions and it crossing the auction block for the first time tonight.
It is an evenly circulated specimen displaying just honest wear and dark
signatures. Another wonderful opportunity tonight for the Minnesota
specialist.

One of a measly four notes reported on this Clay County bank that went
into receivership in October, 1924. This raw example is the lowest graded
of the quartet. It has the folds of a Fine with a couple of small internal
holes and three bottom edge tears ranging in length from approximately
a half inch to 1.75 inches. Long ago tape repairs on the face and back have
since failed over the years. A few scuff marks are also present on both the
face and back. Only two examples on this bank have appeared at auction.
A Fine 1902 $10 Plain Back realized $4,840 in 1998 and a different 1902
$10 Plain Back also grading Fine realized $10,925 in 2010. The note in this
lot is offered without an estimate. There will be no returns on this lot for
any reason.

21360 Wadena, MN - $50 1882 Brown Back Fr. 513 The First National Bank Ch. # 4821 PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.

A beautifully fresh and vividly printed $50 Brown Back that comes from a small group of a dozen or so Wadena $50 Brown Backs unearthed many
years ago. Two of that number are impounded in the Smithsonian, with the others long since dispersed into collections. With the exception of a quartet
of examples from Owatonna, notes from this group remain the only source of $50 Brown Backs from Minnesota. All we have seen are extremely high
grade, and just about every one has the same trim on the bottom, severely impinging into the design at the bottom right end. This pretty note is a happy
exception with an unusually wide bottom margin. Almost five years ago, we sold a PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ example for this $10,575. This
superior piece could certainly exceed that number.

A most attractive Lazy Deuce that is from a cut sheet that we are offering this evening, it is another note from a small run that has supplied high grade
specimens from this bank for collectors for years. of notes which have been tightly held for decades. This example, displays ample margins with strong
pen signatures and a bold red overprint. A few pinholes have been noted by PMG.

21369 Winona, MN - $50 1929 Ty. 2 The Winona National & Savings

Only two charter numbers in the state of Minnesota issued Type 2 $50s.
One was charter number 10865 in Winona and the other was charter
number 9327, the Northern National Bank of Duluth. However, not
a single Type 2 $50 of the 36 issued is documented on the Northern
National Bank. The Winona N&SB only issued 264 pieces and of that
number, just seven are documented in the National Bank Note Census
and that includes the $50 in this lot. The last $50 example to cross the
auction block was way back in 2004. Almost sixteen years later pro-
duces just one more opportunity to acquire one of these highly desirable
Nationals. A small piece is missing from the top right margin.

An extremely scarce type and denomination from Minnesota, with this
bank the only institution in the state to issue Type 2 $100s. A mere 144
were printed and both Track & Price and the National Bank Note Census
lists the same ten serial numbers as survivors. That figure also includes
the example in this lot that last appeared at auction in 1986. This is a very
nice representative for the grade sporting white paper and traces of bank
title embossing.

21371 Worthington, MN - $10 1902 Plain Back Fr. 633 The Citizens
National Bank Ch. # (M)5910 PMG Very Fine 25.

A very scarce southern Minnesota bank that issued large size only before
the receiver arrived to close the doors in 1924. This offering is one of only
seven pieces recorded and is the first to ever appear in one of our auc-

tions. It is an evenly circulated and well printed Plain Back that is cross-
ing the auction block for the first time. National Bank Ch. # (S)5177 PMG Fine 12.

From the Gilmore Sem Collection, Part I Only 28 Brown Backs of any denomination are currently known from

Starting Bid: $750 Mississippi, and of those listed in the census just four are $20s (three are
from this bank, including this example). This note, which is one of just
four pieces in the census from here, is well circulated but retains solid
paper for the grade along with respectable color. This bank, chartered just
9 days after the NB of Commerce of Hattiesburg that held the previous
charter number, closed in 1908 and printed only Brown Backs. A great
opportunity to acquire a true Mississippi rarity.

21373 Iuka, MS - $10 1902 Date Back Fr. 620 The First National Bank Ch. # (S)10154 PMG Very Fine 25.

This newly discovered example is the first specimen from this short-lived bank ever to appear at public sale. While the census shows one other example,
its whereabouts have long been shrouded in mystery, although a good guess might be in the vault containing some of this state’s greatest rarities which
have been hidden away since the owner passed on nearly forty years ago. This piece came directly from the proverbial “weeds,” and is being offered here
to the collecting fraternity for the first time. It comes from Iuka’s only National Bank, an institution which was in business for a mere three years before
bowing out in early 1915 after issuing what can charitably be described as “pocket change.” PMG mentions some stains, but they are light and mostly
affect the reverse. Our estimate will be conservative, but it would not surprise us at all to see it swiftly exceeded well before the hammer falls this eve-
ning.

This is the only $100 Brown Back reported from this St. Louis bank, and
one of only nine such examples in the census from all banks in the state
of Missouri combined. It is broadly margined, bright for the grade, and
strongly pen signed, giving it plenty of eye appeal. PMG notes a minor
restoration, but this is so trivial that it is impossible to spot within the
confines of the holder. Our consignor obtained this note from the 1995
Memphis auction, and it has been off the market since that lone appear-
ance.

are as bright as the day this sheet was cut, and the note has retained its
entire bottom selvage. It is from a small hoard of high-grade $5 Brown

21382 Tecumseh, NE - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 467 The First National Bank Ch. # 2955 PCGS Choice About New 58.

A wonderful Nebraska rarity from the first of three banks chartered in this small county seat community in far southeast Nebraska. Chartered during
the Nebraska boom year of 1883, it met the fate of so many rural banks in this state, liquidating in 1887 in the midst of a vicious agricultural depression.
Having issued a meager $20,000 in $5 Brown Backs only during its four year run, Treasury records indicate that by 1910 a minuscule $125 was left out-
standing. This is the sole surviving example from this short-lived banking venture, but, fortunately for collectors, it is a real beauty, having been graded
Choice About New 58 by PCGS, missing the fully Uncirculated grade due only to a couple of tiny corner folds. The bank’s cashier, William A Wolfe,
went on to organize and sign notes from the German National Bank of Beatrice, Nebraska. An article accompanying this lot discusses the deaths of Mr.
Wolfe and his brother, Charles C. Wolfe, who was also a banker, within forty-eight hours of each other. The two Wolfes engaged in a contentious lawsuit
over the distribution of their father’s assets after his death, with the brother prevailing in the first trial and William ultimately winning after the Iowa
supreme court reversed the initial decision. The newspaper account noted, “While the case was on trial in the local court, the brothers, contesting with
their lawyers every inch of the ground with apparent bitterness, nevertheless sat beside each other in court, ate at the same table in the hotel, and occu-
pied the same bed.” If you appreciate the combination of rarity, desirability, and grade, this is a note you should bring home this evening.

21385 McGill, NV - $20 1929 Ty. 2 The McGill National Bank Ch. #

A beautiful serial number 2 Type 2 $20 from a sheet which appeared in
the landmark 1971 Lester Merkin, sale which proved that Series 1929
Nationals were more than just spending money. (The 100-plus sheets in
the Merkin sale had once been part of the famed Colonel Green estate
and had been rejected by a major New York auction house as having too
little value to offer at auction.) The sheet was cut somewhat later, with the
number 1 note selling at the Heritage ANA sale in 1995, while the other
pieces have been offered in various auction venues over the years. This
number 2 example is a true beauty, a perfect note for the collector seek-
ing to complete the ultimate Series 1929 state set or the Nevada collector
seeking only the finest in small size notes.

A very rare note from the only National Bank to issue in this northern

that has seen an influx of visitors since the mid-nineteenth century, this
short-lived institution was the sole National Bank chartered here. The

We are pleased to offer two very special newly reported uncut sheets from this Hunterdon County bank. The first uncut sheet consists of six Type 2 $10
notes, each of which has been courtesy autographed by the bank’s President, George R. Hanks, above his facsimile signature. Also written on the back of
the sheet in the bottom margin are the words “LAST PANE.” A check of the serial numbers in the Kelly reference determine that this sheet is the next-to-
last sheet of Type 2 $10s issued by the bank. Each note features bright paper and bold embossing with just a light fold between each note. A great item for
the New Jersey specialist.

Another attractive sheet from this High Bridge bank, this one a Type 2 $20 sheet with each note also courtesy autographed by George P. Hanks, who
assumed the bank’s presidency in 1932. In the bottom margin on the back are the written words “LAST SHEET” which is truly the case here as, accord-
ing to the Kelly reference, this is truly the last sheet of Type 2 $20s issued by this bank in 1935. While number 1 sheets are relatively commonplace, last
sheets are items that were definitely not saved. As with the $10 sheet in the previous lot, each note is fresh and original with just a light fold between each
note. This is another great opportunity for the New Jersey collector or any specialist in small size Nationals.

examples only before liquidating at the expiration of its charter in 1919.
This is the only $5 Value Back known from the bank, and the highest
grade example of any type or denomination listed in the census from this
institution. PMG’s grade appears conservative in the extreme, especially
in view of their comments “Exceptional Paper Quality & Color.”

Starting Bid: $3,000

Little Ferry, NJ - $5 1902 Plain Back Fr. 609 The Little Ferry NB Ch. # 12378 PMG Very Fine 25.

An excessively rare North Jersey bank with a great bank title that was the sole issuer in town. In large size, this bank only issued $5 1902 Plain Backs
and almost 100 years later, only four have been documented by the National Bank Note Census. Also, only one of those has crossed the auction block
previously. That raw Fine-VF example fetched $12,075 at auction in 2012. This far superior piece is a bright example with sharp inks and rubber stamped
signatures of Cashier Peter A. Wiseman and President Oswald C. Mehrhof. PMG has commented about a minor repair, but any such repair is more than

offset by the rarity and desirability of this great National.
Starting Bid: $5,000

21402 Manasquan, NJ - $5 1882 Brown Back Fr. 467 The First National
Bank Ch. # 3040 PMG Very Fine 30.

A newly discovered example which is the first Brown Back reported from
this rare New Jersey shore bank, which issued Brown Backs and Red Seals
only before closing its doors forever in 1908. Although five Red Seals are
listed in the census, all save one have been closely held for generations, with
the one example that has a sale record during the past thirty years fetch-
ing $7,475 when sold ten years ago. This pen signed $5 Brown Back was
the bottom note on the sheet, and still retains its full bottom selvage, an
almost certain indication that it was a keepsake and never really entered
circulation.

Starting Bid: $3,500

in the census of just nine large size reported. Low serial number 3 adds to

folds.

21404 Newark, NJ - $2 Original Fr. 389 The Manufacturers National
Bank Ch. # 2040 PMG Very Fine 25 Net.

One of only three Deuces reported from this Newark bank, and the
first of that trio to cross the public auction block in twenty years. It is an
attractive piece with ample margins all around excellent color, and sharp
pen signatures. PMG assigned a net grade to this pretty note for what they
term restorations but any such repairs have only served to enhance this
Deuce’s overall appearance.

Starting Bid: $2,000

Ch. # 876 PMG Very Fine 25.

The first of a newly discovered mini-hoard from this large only Sussex

by far the highest grade of the trio. PMG notes pinholes, which are indeed
present.

Starting Bid: $750
